Researchers follow an iterative process to solve problems. People (and research communities) are constantly revising research questions. The scope of research, the methods, and even the topic driving the research changes over time.
Why do researcher need to revise or change their research questions instead of sticking to the original one?
On the other hand, doing research for other reasons than to answer a question can be half-hearted or sloppy.
yeah agree! research is better when we truly want to do it, not just we have to.
When scholarship is working right, publication of research results produces inquiry by other scholars, which in turn produces more research
It seems like research is ongoing process instead of one time task.
You will need to figure out the best and most reliable way to answer each question (and the questions will probably each need a different research strategy).
This makes me realize that all the questions cannot be answer in the same way . That means research is not just finding information but finding the right information.
