To be successful with your research project, you have to engage with information and explore different topics. This means that research is iterative, as opposed to a linear checklist. Your research topic may evolve, narrowing or broadening in response to the information you encounter and critically evaluate. The steps illustrated above are a good starting point, but depending on the nature of your project, you might not need all of them, or you might need to add additional ones, for example data collection.
