According to the Center for Innovation in Research and Teaching:
“Is the research question one that is of interest to the researcher and potentially to others? Is it a new issue or problem that needs to be solved or is it attempting to shed light on previously researched topic.
Is the research question researchable? Consider the available time frame and the required resources. Is the methodology to conduct the research feasible?
Is the research question measureable and will the process produce data that can be supported or contradicted?
Is the research question too broad or too narrow?” (“Writing a Good, “ n.d.)
