The document provides a guide for beginners on selecting a research topic, emphasizing the importance of personal interests and passions as well as relevance to academic or professional goals. It outlines seven steps to follow, including conducting a preliminary literature review, narrowing the topic, consulting with advisors, and assessing feasibility. Ultimately, it advises making a confident final decision in alignment with one's interests and objectives.

1. Begin by thinking about your personal interests and
passions. What topics or subjects genuinely intrigue
you? Your enthusiasm will keep you motivated
throughout the research process.
Consider the relevance of your interests to your
academic or professional goals. Is the topic aligned
with your field of study or career aspirations? Ensure
that your research has a purpose.
Conduct a preliminary literature review. Look for
existing research on your chosen topic. This helps
you understand what’s already known and where
gaps exist in the current knowledge.
If your initial topic is too broad, narrow it down. Ask
yourself specific questions related to your interest. A
focused research question is easier to work with
than a broad one.
Evaluate the practicality of your chosen topic.
Consider factors like the availability of resources,
data, and time. Ensure your research goals are
achievable within your constraints.
