ABSTRACT
Moreover, a salutary point for researchers to observe is that the study on which they might embark will probably take weeks, months and maybe years. Sustaining interest and momentum in the researcher(s) are important considerations. Researchers should ask themselves whether they really have the interest in studying the issue in question or in conducting the research for a long period of time. If the answer is ‘no’ then, if they have the luxury of not having to do this particular piece of research, they may wish to consider an alternative area of research that will enable them to sustain interest in, and motivation for, the research. A piece of research that is conducted by an unwilling or bored researcher could easily turn out to be unimpressive.
