To formulate a research question, you ought to consider the following:
• Do you know the field and its writing style - adequately?
• What areas require further investigation?
• Would your study fill a gap or lead to more understanding of the subject matter?
• Has this study been done some time recently? Provided that this is so, is there opportunity to make it better?
• Is the timing a good fit for the research inquiry to get responses; and is it a hotly debated issue, or is it a subject that is out of date?
