Research planning
Abstract
Now that you know what you want to work on, let's have a look at how to plan your research. A research plan is a comprehensive blueprint for your entire study. It translates your research questions into actionable steps. It also mentions what you intend to achieve (objectives), where its boundaries lie (scope), and what outputs you will produce (deliverables). This document outlines your chosen methodology, timeline, and resources, and often includes preliminary thoughts on ethical considerations and data management.
