A research question is the question around which you center your research.

it provides enough specifics that one’s audience can easily understand its purpose without needing additional explanation.
Focused:
it is narrow enough that it can be answered thoroughly in the space the writing task allows.
Concise:
it is expressed in the fewest possible words.

Complex:
it is not answerable with a simple “yes” or “no,” but requires analysis of ideas and sources prior to composition of an answer.
Arguable:
its potential answers are open to debate rather than accepted facts.
