Abstract
The process of preparing scientific research involves following essential and sequential stages
that must be adhered to in order to ensure quality. Arguably, the most crucial and impactful stage is the
first one, where the problem statement is defined, followed by the formulation of scientific hypotheses
and the clarification of key concepts. This stage serves as the foundation of the research framework
and acts as its primary guide. Consequently, the quality and effectiveness of the subsequent stages
depend on it, making it the first aspect scrutinized during research discussions. To address this, the
study highlights key methodological observations deemed essential for guiding researchers and
students in successfully completing their scientific studies.
