Conducting Research
In general, a research project starts with a question and a proposal. The proposal contains at a minimum three sections, Introduction, Literature Review, and Methodology. The following documents provide an overview of each section of the research proposal. You may want to start with exploring the steps in the research process.
Getting Started in Research
The first step in any activity is the identification of potential barriers to success. The next step is writing a quality research question. Select the links below to learn more about setting yourself up for success and writing a research question.
Reviewing the Literature and Writing an Introduction
To ensure your research question meets FINER criteria, a review of the literature must be undertaken. Select the links below to learn more. NOTE: If you're unfamiliar with FINER criteria, review the Research Question presentation.
Survey Research

Conducting Database Research
Database research may be an ideal method to answer your research question. There are additional benefits to database research in that the data has already been collected. Select the links below to learn more.
Conducting a Prospective Study
Conducting an analytical study requires a detailed methodology. As in building a home, the methodology is similar to the blue print of the home. A detailed methodology helps ensure the successful completion of a research project. Select the links below to learn more about writing a method section for your studies.
