A good research requires a well structured and relevant working plan. Research planning is a systematic process which cover all the relevant points of data collection and report the results .To formulate a research project, researcher should have clear rational for constructing research questions and an awareness of the key factors that will influence the success of the project. These factors may comprise in study design, statistical methods, assemble required recourses and other study related materials. It is the responsibility of researchers to set data quality control arrangements in order to ensure the quality of data at planning stage. In addition, funding is a crucial issue that needs to pay more concentration at initial stage of planning.
