How to use this tool

Enter a specific topic and add the group, location, time period and approach where relevant. Generate options, then narrow the question to match the evidence you can access.

What to check

A clear question may still be impractical or already extensively answered. Check the literature, available data, time and any required research approval.

Does a generated question prove that a research gap exists?

No. Establish the gap through a literature review and discuss the proposed question with your supervisor where appropriate.
