For this week's the topic of discussion is "formulating a research question." What this topic entails is how to go about making a question to prepare for research. What the key elements are involved when coming up with a research question.

Key Elements
To formulate a research question you must understand who, what when and why you are doing this research. When you put these steps into practice, you will have a better understanding of what you need within your question.
" narrow the scope of your topic by asking who, what, where, when, why questions and focusing on specific aspects you can investigate through your literature review. This will also frame your scope. These questions will identify the intersections and relationships that your literature review can examine."

Once you understand the purpose of your research, its time to create a plan to proceed with your research.
This involves taking note of any words that need more knowledge, use other resources rather than just the internet, for example, visit a library.

During the research, it is the most important to make note of the citations from the sources you review. A citation is an author and date the material is produced by. This is the most important as it separates your work from someone else's work. This is essentially your proof that you did not steal material from another author, rather you just reference their work. When taking phrases it is important to use quotation marks and add a citation showing who the work comes from. You may have noticed in my blogs how I do insert a quote after making a point. This is to back up my understanding and explanation of what I had read. It also contains the link to the article in which I am referring to those who would like to look further look into the topic and also crediting the author for their work.

In conclusion, it is important to research and understands why, how, when, etc you are doing the research. Create a plan for research. Then reference your research.
