This document provides a framework for brainstorming a research topic using the WHAT-WHY-HOW approach. It involves first identifying the area or academic discipline, then narrowing down to a specific field and issues within that field. Potential research questions are then formulated related to an aspect or topic, focusing on identifying symptoms, potential issues, and specific research questions. These research questions are then converted into hierarchical research objectives, with research questions branching into specific research objectives and hypotheses.
