Step 1: Identify a broad problem area which might interest you and you want to understand the scenario/situation and want an answer to it. E.g. You see that more people are buying a particular brand of a product. Why is it that only this brand is selling more than the others? Step 2: Download a research paper related to the topic from Google Scholar and write a summary of the same (one paragraph) together with the surname(s) of the author(s) and the year of publication. Step3: From the research paper, identify at least three independent variables (factors) that might influence the dependent variable.
