Research, research, research

Research, research problem/question, research design, research method, theory... Words that make a student really nervous. Researching is lovey job but it means that you really do understand what you are going to do. You have maybe heard that the research question is the most important part of you study and I can say that it really is. It is counseling all that you do.

I collected here some helpful links for you.  To find the right academic conversation means that you have to read a lot round your research topic.

A good link for the topic: How to write a research question? Please read this before getting started.

How to write your thesis?

"Novice researchers are often daunted by doing a literature search. The amount of publications is overwhelming. Every single publication found leads to new literature references. Some of these detail only one aspect of your research problem, but since you are not sure yet what you are going to study you cannot find out how much detail you will need for a certain topic. This is a chicken and egg scenario. There are good books available to help you through this phase, such as Fink (2004)." Source: Research design (PDF)
