Well, This is something that I haven't learned today, but it seems that it is today that I keep finding it rewarding: You can research something by start writing about it. Don't wait until you generate all the ideas about it. No! start writing, and you will start discovering the concepts that make that subject, how they are connected, what is important, what is the core, what is peripheral, or how that subject needs to be looked at from a certain point of view or a different angle. So, if you have an idea, just start writing about it, and it will work.
