Scientific knowledge which in other words is also known as accurate knowledge contains collection of laws,
theories and reliable information to help explain various types of phenomenon. On the flip side research
knowledge is a type pf knowledge acquired through an extensive process of research experiment following
protocols in order to gain relevant results. Upon defining the two, my answer is yes, for research knowledge
