    There are several types of research including designed experiments which impose treatments in controlled situations to measure responses, systematic observation which makes planned measurements without full control, system design which develops improved databases or models, synthesis which applies new frameworks to existing data, modeling which builds conceptual or computational models, comparative studies which examine differences between situations, and data mining which searches large datasets for unexpected patterns without bias.

    TYPES OF RESEARCH

    1. DESIGNED EXPERIMENTS: e.g. Laboratory or Field Research;


    The researcher imposes the treatments in semi-controlled situation and measures the system
    response.
    2. Systematic Observation, e.g. Resource Survey or Community meetings.
    The researcher makes measurements or observations according to a plan but without
    complete control of the process.
    3. System Design:
    The researcher designs a system (database, visualization, modeling…) and shows that it is
    somehow better than previous designs; this includes designs of algorithms and methods.
    4. Synthesis (Blend):
    The researchers imposes a new conceptual framework on previous data and establishes that
    this is a better or unifying explanation.
    5. Modeling:
    The researcher builds a conceptual or computational model of a process. The model is
    evaluated by its success in reproducing the behavior of the natural or social system.
    6. Comparative Studies:
    The researcher compares existing situations in order to determine the reasons for the
    observed differences.
    7. Data Mining:
    The researcher looks for unexpected patterns / configurations in large data sets, without
    preconceptions / assumptions / bias.
