How do I develop or narrow a research question if my topic is too broad?
When your topic feels too broad, start by doing some background reading to understand key issues, terms, and debates. QuickSearch can provide research starter content and reference materials that help you narrow your focus.
As you read, try limiting your topic by population, place, time period, or specific aspects such as causes, effects, or solutions. When in doubt, reach out to a librarian, who can help you turn a broad idea into a clear, researchable question.
