eddyMan Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hi ! I am doing my EE in psychology and when I am searching or my data I found one forum in IBS that there was some guys in this world who have already done same EE with exact same research question as mine in last 3-4 years :(. This is fortuitous as I have my decided research question with my supervisor and not copy from anyone. Will this be allow ? or will it affect my marks? I dont want to change my research question again as I already did so much research. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnjaDe Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Don't worry, it isn't an issue as long as your supervisor confirms it's your work when signing the EE coversheet and as long as you do not use any of his ideas, examples etc. to develop your EE, without a reference to his work. If you are really worried, perhaps rephrase your question so it is not exactly the same and you can still use your research to write about it. Hope that helps Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Chances are, if you are writing any EE, the topic has been discussed in previous submissions in the past decades. You can, for example, acknowledge this EE that you've find and improve the methodology. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
