Episode Synopsis
In today's episode, we discuss writing and defining the research question. We start from Sarah's experience in defining the research question for the proposal she worked on, and what she learned from this experience.We then discuss various topics related to the research question: how to be specific enough, how to tie the research question to the available methods, how to spot the gap in the literature, and some requirements for writing a good research question.Finally, we look at Eva's experience with the research question: how she defined the research question for her PhD, how she defines research questions for proposals, and how she advises graduate students on defining their research questions.ReferencesThe episode about Sarah's research proposal (Ep. 56)Replication crisis
