Abstract
GIL LATORRE, Francisca. Preliminary stage of a Research Project. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2010, vol.3, n.1, pp.46-50. ISSN 2386-8201.
The Research Question, Background, Rationale, Hypothesis and Objectives comprise the preliminary stage of a research project. The research question should be precise and clear. Without a strong research question you cannot conduct a research study. The question suggests the direction the research should take and guides the methodology, design and execution of the study. Once you have found a problem to be approached, the knowledge on the topic should be analysed. To this end a complete review of the literature is essential. You must also ask yourself if the performance of the study can be justified. The study objectives will be directed towards answering the research question.
