Research challenges
Topic research is faced by challenges, which makes the process tedious and discouraging. One of the problems that undermine me in a topic research process is choosing the right methodology to obtain the desired solutions. The lack of detailed documentation on approaches from other peers makes the evaluation process between various methodologies impossible. Inadequate risk management also contributes to methodology failure resulting in misleading assumptions. A biased review of published research approaches results in interpretation errors, which cause challenges in achieving successful research. Inherent errors and limitations from reference research publications impact subsequent research dependent on them.
Another challenge encountered is the lack of participation from institutions and peers. Doing a research process alone impacts the success rate due to the lack of collaboration in brainstorming solutions to problems. Absence of close relationships in researching a topic results in low motivation due to tiring processes. In some scenarios, topic research requires enrollment in institutions to gain access to resources and facilities, which challenges the process when institutions put barriers and restrictions.
Challenges in data collection and analysis is also another challenge that I face while research topics. A wrong selection of data gathering techniques can result in inaccurate data, which translates to the research errors. Lack of relevant knowledge and skills on data analysis impairs research progress when working with multiple constraints without expertise. Validation of findings based on assumptions is unclear and is subject to rejection when mixed methodologies are used.
The language barrier is another challenge affecting the topic research process, which impairs communication and information sharing. Doing research studies in alien languages inhibits collaboration and limits access to publications on papers of interest
