Newton, Bower, and Williams (2004) outline the process of “devising and revising” a research question, be it descriptive, relational, or comparati

1. How do descriptive research questions differ from questions of relationship? From questions of comparison?

2. How should a researcher determine if prior research exists on her intended research topic?

3. What factors should be used to gauge the quality of previous research? Why are these important in making this assessment?

4. Should formulation of a research question precede or follow consultation with the scholarly literature? Please explain.
