In addition, studies should build on the research of others, address timely issues, and fit in a well-articulated theoretical framework. Before embarking on a project, researchers should determine the overall purpose for the research and who the research will serve. Based on that determination, they should identify potential sources for funding and develop a thorough proposal. Finally, researchers should establish contacts who can help them pursue funding and conduct the research.
