Posted by Tushar Focus on your strengths and interests within the discipline. Narrow the focus of your reserach by building on what already has been explored by other scholars (i.e., do a literarure review) before spending a great deal of time on actual research. This will ensure that area(s) you want to explore in your thesis/dissertation are not already published. Also, initial lit review will add to the validity in terms of convincing your reader or advisor or doctoral committee that your research topic not only meets appropriate academic standards/rigour. Also, seeking their (committee or advisor/reader) "blessings" there by avoiding future disagreements or jeopordizing your academic goals. I hope this helps. Wish you all the best in your academic as well as professional endeavours.
