What is a research question?

A research question is the question around which you center your research. It should be:

clear: it provides enough specifics that one’s audience can easily understand its purpose without needing additional explanation.

focused: it is narrow enough that it can be answered thoroughly in the space the writing task allows.

concise: it is expressed in the fewest possible words.

complex: it is not answerable with a simple “yes” or “no,” but rather requires synthesis and analysis of ideas and sources prior to composition of an answer.

arguable: its potential answers are open to debate rather than accepted facts.

You should ask a question about an issue that you are genuinely curious and/or passionate about.
