statement may change; it can be modified in one way or another because you may find, at a later stage, that your research topic needs to be narrowed down or broadened.
Usually the research topic can be stated as a question or as a hypothesis, and the choice between the two depends on the nature of the subject area. Stating the research topic as a question often helps to stimulate exploratory research, while formulating a topic as a hypothesis suggests that the research focus is on a tentative explanation or argument that your research attempts to test.

本课件致力于指导英语学术写作，特别是研究论文的写作。内容涵盖了从初步准备到最终成文的整个流程。首先，强调了按步骤进行研究和写作的重要性，并详细阐述了每个步骤的内容和目标。这些步骤包括开始准备、发现并选择主题、寻找并形成焦点、收集信息以支持和阐明焦点、准备写作（包括分析和组织信息以及形成论文陈述）、以及撰写、修订和最终确定论文。此外，还指出了在写作过程中，学生需要探索主题、定位相关信Байду номын сангаас、分析问题和组织论点，这些活动比最终的写作步骤需要更多时间，并需要不同的技能。许多学生在如何进行研究和为撰写“研究论文”准备信息方面没有接受过很多正规培训，因此本课件也旨在填补这一空白。最后，强调了图书馆员在学生写作项目的探索、查找和组织阶段中提供的帮助，以及研究论文不仅仅是最终产品，而是涉及广泛过程的重要性。
