Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The next step after identifying the research topic or problem is to formally state one or more research questions. This helps to focus the research and guide the data collection process. While conducting a literature review and writing a hypothesis are important steps in the research process, they typically occur after the research questions have been defined. Identifying potential expenses is not directly related to the research questions and can be dealt with later in the planning process.
