A. Research Question
This criterion assesses the extent to which the purpose of the essay is specified. In many subjects, the aim of the essay will normally be expressed as a question and, therefore, this criterion is called the “research question.” However, certain disciplines may permit or encourage different ways of formulating the research task.
The research question must be appropriate to the particular subject in which the essay is submitted. In
human rights, this means that it must focus on some contemporary human rights issue. The research
question must be clearly and exactly focused, and stated in both the abstract and introduction of the
essay.
