3. In-Brief
Theword"researchrationale"referstothepurposeofconductingthestudyin
question. You should be able to communicate why your study was necessary
when writing your justification. It's a vital portion of your research paper that
should explain how your study was unique and why it was important; this will
assistthereaderinunderstandingwhyyourresearchquestionneedstobe
addressedinyourresearchpaper,termpaper,oranotherresearchreport. Astudy
rationale is typically required as part of a university course of study. Still, you may
also be required to write one as a professional researcher to seek funding or other
support. In the professional setting, thorough research is especially vital because
your explanation will almost certainly become part of the contract if financing or
supportis approved.
