How can I formulate my research objective?
Hey everyone. I am pursuing my PhD and stuck in the very beginning. I am finding it quite challenging to write research objectives. I very well know about what I am going to research and what are the problems of my research but the real struggle comes with the writing. How should I write various objectives of my research?

You are quite right in the context of research objectives. It is sometimes difficult to write what you already know. I suggest you to provide accurate description of the specific actions you will take in order to reach this aim.

You remind me of my own PhD days. From my experience I can tell you that it is not as difficult to formulate research objective as it looks. You can start with making a draft of your research objectives and then formulate sentences for each one of them.

Use action verbs such as to identify, establish, describe, assess, determine, estimate, develop, compare, analyse, collect.

The objectives should cover different aspects of the problem and its contributing factors in a coherent way.

You can always consult your supervisors. Do not hesitate because writing the research objective is an important part of your thesis and should be well written.
