Getting started with research

These are some of the fundamental points that every researcher who is preparing to take the plunge into a new topic must keep in mind :

1.Answer a question that solves a problem that the potential reader cares about
2.Look out for that Mental itch - that eureka moment !!
3.Finding a topic out of the possible research interests
4.List down all ideas relevant to the topic
5.Narrowing down the topic according to timeframe , resources
6.Include action words in your topic name
7.Ask and answer Journalistic questions
8.Answer the “So What” Question, which every potential reader is going to ask about the topic

9.Topic outline (Structure) : Topic, question and Significance
10.There exists a relationship between the solution to a practical problem and a solution to a research     problem
11.Problems are of two types :
        Practical (real world) – applied research
        Conceptual (laboratory) – pure research
14.ASK FOR HELP
