BASIS
In the context of research writing, a
rationale pertains to the reasons why the
study must be conducted. Such
justification is provided by the researcher
to highlight the significant points of the
problem to be adressed in the study.

Research justification is considered as the initial step in


writing a research paper. This step involves the skill on
how the researcher will provide the readers with critical
background or contextual information that induces the
research topic.
Moreover, it needs to indicate the reasons why the proposed
research actually matters. In doing so, the researcher must
be able to get the audience’s attention right from the
introduction.
