Research Fundamentals: The Research Question, Outcomes, and Background

Abstract: This first article in a three-part series on research fundamentals describes the purpose and importance of writing a research protocol a priori to the research study and discusses three components of a research protocol for a clinical, quantitative research study. These components include the research question, outcomes and the background section including a literature review. By using the author's personal experience in writing and editing research protocols for international, peer-reviewed journals, and revi… Show more

“…Designing exclusion criteria require investigators to examine the literature on the topic and discern important variables and confounding factors that have shown to interfere with the study plan. Another way to develop exclusion criteria is to use the PICO(TS) components of the research study [2]. For example, in a research study looking at the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on patients with chronic pain, an exclusion criterion may be to exclude individuals who are older than 65 or younger than 20 because they may tolerate pain differently compared to the population of patients between ages 40 and 65.…”

“…RESEARCH BACKGROUND Background provides a summary of existing research, highlighting flaws, future directions, and gaps that must be addressed. This section explains why the study stated in the research protocol should be carried out (Majid, 2017). Every researcher believes that writing research background is an important thing when he or she wants to present their research.…”
