Document Summary
Research is more like a cycle than a process with a beginning and end. Project: from a combination of current trends in recent research theory and methods, challenge competing theories, important events in everyday life. You have to be interested in the research you take. Research requires long hours; collecting data, writing articles etc. Peer- review process evaluation of one researchers work by other experts in the field; used by granting agencies and publishers to determine the best projects and manuscripts and to identity possible conflicts of interests and require revisions. Think about : is this a topic i would relate to in everyday life, in born curiosity, would i read about this topic in my spare time, would i talk about this with others. Students make the mistake of researching a topic that has extensive research on it already.
