如何提出好的科学问题

---

1 首先收集你感兴趣的领域的文献，可以是review,也可以是empirical studies。了解该领域目前的研究现状。进行归纳总结。记录你认为值得进一步研究的问题或者方向。

2  refine  your question。

• 读者是不是会觉得有趣
• 你的问题是不是可解答的
• 是老葫卖新酒吗？还是可以解决一个问题
• 问的问题是不是太broad， 或者太narrow
• google就可以回答的问题，不是你要研究的科学问题

   
​Research Question Checklist:

 Is my RQ something that I am curious about and that others might care about? Does it present an issue on which I can take a stand?
 Does my RQ put a new spin on an old issue, or does it try to solve a problem?
 Is my RQ too broad, too narrow, or OK?
 Is my RQ researchable… o …within the time frame of the assignment? o …given the resources available at my location?
 Is my RQ measurable? What type of information do I need? Can I find actual data to support or contradict a position?
 What sources will have the type of information that I need to answer my RQ (journals, books, internet resources, government documents, interviews with people)?
