Introduction
Research objectives are the outcomes that you aim to
achieve by conducting research. Many research projects
contain more than one research objective. Creating strong
research objectives can help your organization achieve its
overall goals. The purpose of research objectives is to
drive the research project, including data collection,
analysis and conclusions. Research objectives also help
you narrow in on the focus of your research and key
variables, guiding you through the research process.

How to write research objectives
Identifying your research objectives is crucial to conducting a
successful research project. Here are three simple steps that you can
follow to identify and write your research objectives:
Pinpoint the major focus of your research
The first step to writing your research objectives is to pinpoint the
major focus of your research project. In this step, make sure to
clearly describe what you aim to achieve through your research.
You can identify a research focus by reading through your
industry's literature and finding gaps in existing research. Once you
find a gap that you can fill through your research project, you can
start narrowing down a focus for your research project and setting
an overall goal that you want to achieve through your research.

How to write research objectives
Break down your research focus into research
objectives
Once you know the primary goal of your research project,
you can break it down into smaller steps and separate
objectives. You can choose one general objective and a
few other specific, narrow objectives. In the general
objective, state in a broad sense what you aim to achieve
through your research. Then, use the specific objectives
to describe how you can achieve your general goal.

Write your research objectives in the SMART format
Another key step to writing strong research objectives is to
use the SMART format. Using this format can make your
objectives clearer and easier to understand, which can make
you more likely to achieve them. Make sure your objectives
meet these criteria:
Specific: Be specific about your desired outcomes. Your
objectives should be clearly written and leave no room for
confusion. This can help you keep them narrow and focused.

Write your research objectives in the SMART Format
Measurable: Making your objectives measurable is essential to achieving them.
You can create metrics to measure your progress toward achieving your
objectives.
Achievable: Be sure to create objectives that you can realistically achieve to help
you avoid getting overwhelmed by unrealistic expectations. Make sure you have
the resources and budget to accomplish your objectives.
Relevant: Make your objectives relevant to your research and your overall goals.
This can help you stay motivated and on track throughout your research project.
Time-based: You can establish deadlines to help you keep your research process
on track. You can set a major deadline for your entire project as well as smaller
deadlines for each objective.
