Topic

A research topic is written in the form of a sentence or even just a few words. It gets you thinking about a specific idea.

Picking a Topic

Your research topic may be assigned or you may be allowed to select your own. If you pick your own, choose one that interests you, but be wary of picking a topic that you already have strong opinions about, as that may bias your research.

Taking the Next Step

Your research topic will evolve into a research question, but first you will need to brainstorm the topic.
