So far, the process of developing the research study based on a very specific and comprehensive framework has been interesting, intriguing, time-consuming and sometimes challenging as well. I believe that while all of these factors must have been common for almost all of the involved students in their research studies, these factors further explain and reflect the quality of study we are likely to produce. For me, so far, the most challenging, sensitive and important aspect was the development of a comprehensive and precise PICOT question by which the entire paper has to be structured. Logically, this was not a very lengthy task, but it was surely time-consuming and challenging. This was probably because it was supposed to develop the line of direction and approach for the entire paper.
After that, the most interesting, and I would say, fun sort of section was the search for credible, reliable and appropriate sources, dissecting them, analyzing them in priority order, and developing the relevant tables to develop a systematic table for their usage. I believe this was a very lengthy, challenging and often tiring work. However, I enjoyed it as it provided me with a detailed framework for my research. As I analyzed the gathered sources, I became aware of the possible literature gaps, unique studies, interesting findings, etc. (Srivastava & Thomson, 2009). All of these elements helped me understand that, overall, my research topic and domain are not as dry, monotonous or simple as one might believe. There were endless possibilities and dimensions that I could choose in relevance to my paper.
Precisely, I would say that the journey of developing the paper so far has been a very interesting, captivating and rewarding one. I hope to continue the same interest until the end of the research.
