How does a doctoral learner turn a topic of passion into a research topic?
A doctoral learner turn a topic of passion into a research topic by first ensuring that there is a gap
in that topic of passion. This can be done by reading as many sources as possible to look for any
limitations in that study and also to t and identify whether other researchers have recommended
more research in that topic. If such a gap is gotten, a doctoral learner ill have turned the topic of
