Abstract

Without a determined problem no objective, without an objective no research question – without a research question no achievement of the objective and no solution to the problem! Each semester it becomes clear how difficult it is for students to design clear formulations for these basic elements of a scientific paper and to develop a logical, comprehensible approach. Therefore, this guide uses examples from mentoring in webinars to show how to develop a goal-oriented research question and what role the basic elements preceding it play: the problem and the objective. In addition to each example, a sketch is given of what the further structure of the research project could look like. The e-book links directly to suitable places for further information, e.g. to FAQ pages and instructional videos at http://learn2research.net.
