Feasibility prompts to discuss with your supervisor
Access
- Who will give you access, and have they agreed?
- Can you reach enough people in the time you have?
Ethics
- Does the research need ethics approval, and how long does it take at your institution?
- Could anyone be put at risk by taking part?
Scope
- With six months or less, narrow the question to one population, one place and one main factor.
- What would you have to leave out? Say so explicitly.
Literature
- Search what is already known before settling on the question; the gap you find shapes it.
The researcher writes every word. This tool gives questions, structure and checks, not assessed text. No literature is invented here.
