I am considering building a mobile app (iOS / Android) The app will be based on a well-published research. Does this violate copywrite?

The app will be based on a series of research that is published extensively in management textbooks, scientific journals, Wikipedia, presentations, and in other mediums. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vroom%E2%80%93Yetton_decision_model Principally, the app will use a series of questions to recommend a decision-making style for a manager. These questions will be the same as are cited in the various publications. In short, the app will present the same information in a different way. Is this legal? Is their research protected? It may be important to note that the original researches, Mr. Vroom, Yetton, and Jago, do currently consult and distribute software related to this same research. Obviously, I wouldn''t be using any of their code for my app. Thank you for your help!
