Doctoral students engage in a very complex and sustained objective when developing ideas and methodologies for their dissertations. Discovering a research topic is critically important. A significant amount of self-awareness and motivation is essential in selecting a valid topic that has value within the literature and is personally rewarding. It is also essential to avoid getting too attached to a topic in which you may have preconceived assumptions. The final topic and potential problem statement should be derived from the literature, not a personal mission. Understanding how the topic defines the data type required and, therefore, the methodology selected is also critical. In this reflection, describe your topic of interest and your motivations for exploring this phenomenon.
