The research process involves identifying, locating, assessing, analyzing, and then developing and expressing your ideas. These are the same skills that will be needed in the post-university "real world" when you produce reports, proposals, or othe research for your employer. All of these activities will be based on primary and secondary sources from which recommendations or plans are formulated.

Identifying Your Research 'Problem' — the 'What' and 'Why'

For most researchers, identifying exactly what they are researching, and why, is the most difficult part of the entire process. It is not enough just to be interested in a subject and want to write about it. For a research paper, there has to bea particular reason why you are writing about it, a particular perspective you are taking, a particular aspect you will be covering, and a particular conclusion you will be drawing.

  • The paper on Donald Duck Comics as a Finnish Institution (Eskelinen, 2008), where questions were identified, a background was given, a research instrument (webform survey) was employed, and conclusions derived from the source material and independent research option were reached;
  • The paper [previously covered in class] on Tove Jansson and the Moomin Business (Räihä, 2005), where a face-to-face 'survey' with fixed questions and illustrations was used to explore what a group of children knew about Jansson and the Moomins;

To date, most ENGA14 papers have described various Finnish historical, cultural, linguistic or other "institutional" phenomena. These may be legitimately considered "research papers" in the sense that they are academically-supervised papers which explicate specific topics, with formal citation of primary and secondary sources and a prescribed, accepted scholarly register of expression and organization. They provide a new form of information on their topics. This information is disseminated widely through publication in the "archives" of the course website.

Such papers are a type of "Action Research": exploratory,
