What can a researcher conclude if she cannot find any information to support her initial topic?

Question

a. She has chosen a topic that will require her to make too many inferences.

b. She has chosen a topic with too many opinions and not enough facts.

c. She has chosen a topic that is too narrow.

d. She has chosen a topic that covers too large of a geographical area.

Answer 1

The most appropriate conclusion a researcher can draw in this scenario is:

c. She has chosen a topic that is too narrow.

When a researcher cannot find information to support her initial topic, it often indicates that the topic is too specific or narrow, making it difficult to locate existing research or data on that particular subject.
