Our AI quickly transforms your keywords into unique, high-quality research questions. The process is simple: Select your subject, enter a few keywords, or leave the field blank for instant inspiration. Click 'Generate' to start browsing ideas.
Upgrade to Pro for unlimited RQ generations, examiner marked exemplars, IB-style question banks, revision notes and more.
A top-scoring Japanese RQ must be focused, specific, and explicitly state your variables. Examiners look for precise scientific context rather than broad, vague topics.
Identify specific objects of study, such as particular Japanese texts, media, or cultural practices, rather than relying on broad themes like 'culture' or 'society'.
Incorporate delimiting elements in your question to narrow the focus, such as specifying a time period, geographical region, or demographic group within Japanese culture.
Frame your research question to require analytical or interpretive work, encouraging exploration of relationships, significance, or comparisons rather than just factual descriptions.
Write your research question as a single, clear, grammatically complete sentence that expresses one main line of inquiry to maintain coherence and focus.
Ensure that your research question explicitly mentions the Japanese language, texts, or cultural aspects to anchor your investigation in the Japanese context.
Creating questions that only ask for descriptions or lists of facts, rather than inviting deeper analysis or interpretation.
Formulating questions that are too broad or general, lacking specific objects of study that can be directly analyzed.
Writing fragmented questions or combining multiple unrelated inquiries into one, leading to confusion and lack of clarity in the research focus.
Neglecting to include any delimiting elements, resulting in a question that covers an entire culture or era without narrowing down the scope.
Using vague language that does not clearly indicate a focus on Japan or the Japanese language, making it applicable to any culture.
Yes. Our Research Question Generator was trained on thousands of high-scoring IB exemplars, and the ideas it generates are designed to align with IB criteria so you can develop research questions that meet the standards.
Select your subject and category (IA or EE), optionally enter a few keywords or interests, then click Generate. The AI returns research question ideas tailored to your subject, which you can refine further with the tweak tools.
No. You can leave the keyword field blank for instant inspiration, or add a few words about your interests to get more targeted ideas.
Generated questions are starting points aligned with IB expectations. Similar research questions appear across cohorts—what matters is that your investigation or essay content is your own work.
The Research Question Evaluator was trained on thousands of research questions marked by IB-certified examiners. It evaluates your research question using the same IB criteria, helping you understand its strengths and areas for improvement.
Free users get a limited number of generations per week. Your limit resets weekly. Upgrade to Pro for higher limits and full access to Clastify AI tools.
On Clastify, generate/evaluate in the language you will use for planning; ensure the final school submission follows your subject’s language rules.
A focused inquiry suited to Japanese language and cultural/literary study—clear enough to investigate with texts or language data at your level.
Include themes, text types, or cultural contexts you can analyse. Overly specialised phrasing often produces unfeasible questions.
