Research design: Planning your research - key questions

  • What do you want to know?
  • How do you find out what you want to know?
  • Where can you get the information?
  • Who do you need to ask?
  • When does your research need to be done?
  • Why? (Getting the answer)

Step 1: What?

  • What do I want to know?
  • When developing your research question, keep in mind:
    • Who your research is for;
    • What decisions your research will inform;
    • What kind of information is needed to inform those decisions.
  • Conduct a local information scan
  • Take another look at your research question
