025 Literature Review in Research Methodology - How to Narrow Down a Research Topic Video
Literature review in research proposal - How to Narrow Down a Research Topic -025
In previous videos, we have discussed how to select good research question, and the principles to set research objectives. In this video, we will continue to talk about how to narrow down our research question to have the right level of focus.
First, why do we want to narrow down? There are two reasons. The first reason is that, for a narrower topic, it is often easier for us to make solid contribution. It is more likely we can do deep and complete work. And it may take less time for us to get the work done and get published. The second reason is that, if we choose a broader topic, we will have more competitions from other researchers, and it is more likely we may either repeat other people’s efforts, or contradict with other people’s findings. As Arthur Schawlow said, “To do successful research, you don't need to know everything, you just need to know one thing that isn't known.” Usually, selecting a well-focused topic is the best way to make quick, unique and solid contribution in a certain field, and it is also a wise way to cooperate with other researchers in the research community.
Therefore, after we identify a critical research need, we usually need to narrow it down to have the right level of focus. But how narrow our research topic should be? Different people may have different preference. Usually, the narrower our research topic, the less related studies we can find in literature. For a well focused research topic, we should be able to find right amount of related work in literature that we can handle. The topic should not be too broad to handle. And it should also not be too narrow to have a significant impact that we want.

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
