The Research Question serves two purposes:
- it determines where and what kind of research the writer will be looking for and
- it identifies the specific objectives the study or paper will address.
Therefore, the writer must first identify the type of study (Qualitative, Quantitative, or Mixed) before the Research Question is developed.
