<em>Why is it important to have a research plan?</em>
<em>The correct answer is to focus research by identifying the what, who, why, and how.</em>
<em>It is important to identify the “what” in your future research. What you are going to do in your research, the specific actions to complete it, establish a sequential pattern to carry it out, and the methods you are going to use. In the “where”, where the research is going to take place, which organizations and geographical locations. The “when” is the dates in which you plan to start and finish your research. The “why” deals with the purpose of your research, why you consider your research is relevant.</em>
