Guidelines for Selecting A Research Paper Topic

Published on Jan 24, 2021

Choosing a research topic is proven to be among the most challenging part of research paper writing. So, what are the five basic features of a cool research topic?

First, always be sure to select a research topic that interests you. You would be more willing to explore deeper.

Second, avoid choosing an over-exploited topic - you may end up reporting what is already known.

Third, ensure that there is the availability of information on your proposed research topic. There is no harm in researching an entirely new topic. Still, then, you need to know the fourth feature of a cool research paper topic – manageability.

Can you manage to work on the research topic within the set time and available resources? If not, select a lighter topic. Do not choose a topic that needs years to complete, yet you have one term only.

Finally, do not be carried away in finding a topic that interests you and forgets the professor’s instructions. Ensure you consult with the professor and have the topic approved before writing your research proposal/project.

If you are looking for interesting things to research, contact us at any time. We will be glad to help.
