3	Systematic approaches for scholarly writing, research design, and academic communication.

5	## Research design fundamentals

7	### Research question development

10	## Crafting a research question
11
12	### The FINER criteria
13	- Feasible: Can you actually do this research?
14	- Interesting: Does it matter to the field?
15	- Novel: Does it add new knowledge?
16	- Ethical: Can it be done ethically?
17	- Relevant: Does it address a real problem?
18
19	### Question types
20	\| Type \| Purpose \| Example \|
21	\|------\|---------\|---------\|
22	\| Descriptive \| Document phenomena \| "What are the characteristics of X?" \|
23	\| Comparative \| Compare groups/conditions \| "How does X differ between groups?" \|
24	\| Correlational \| Examine relationships \| "Is there a relationship between X and Y?" \|
25	\| Causal \| Establish causation \| "Does X cause Y?" \|
26	\| Exploratory \| Generate hypotheses \| "What factors might explain X?" \|
27
28	### Refining your question
29	Start broad → Narrow progressively

31	Draft 1: "How does social media affect politics?"
32	Draft 2: "How does Twitter use affect political polarization?"
33	Draft 3: "How does exposure to partisan Twitter accounts affect
34	political attitude polarization among US adults?"
35	Draft 4: "Does increased exposure to ideologically homogeneous Twitter
36	feeds increase affective polarization among politically
37	engaged US adults aged 18-35?"

40	### Literature review strategy
41
42	```markdown
43	## Systematic literature search
44
45	### Database selection by field
46	- Multidisciplinary: Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar
47	- Social Sciences: JSTOR, ProQuest, SSRN
48	- Communication: Communication Abstracts, ComAbstracts
49	- Health: PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL
50	- Education: ERIC
51	- Business: Business Source Complete
52
53	### Search strategy template
54	1. Identify key concepts from research question
55	2. Generate synonyms for each concept
56	3. Combine with Boolean operators
57
58	Example for: "social media political polarization"
59
60	Concept 1: social media
61	- OR: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, "social networking sites",
62	"online platforms", "digital media"
63
64	Concept 2: political
65	- OR: partisan, ideological, electoral, civic
66
67	Concept 3: polarization
68	- OR: division, extremism, "attitude change", radicalization
69
70	Combined search:
71	(Twitter OR Facebook OR "social media" OR "social networking")
72	AND (political OR partisan OR ideological)
73	AND (polarization OR division OR extremism)
74
75	### Inclusion/exclusion criteria
76	Document your criteria:
77	- Publication date range: [X to present]
78	- Languages: [English only / multiple]
79	- Publication types: [Peer-reviewed only / include preprints]
80	- Geographic scope: [Global / specific countries]
81	- Methodologies: [All / specific approaches]
82
83	### Managing your search
84	- Save searches to re-run later
85	- Export results to reference manager
86	- Track number of results at each stage
87	- Document date of each search
