What I Need to Know (Concept)

Research is a process of systematic inquiry that entails collection of data; documentation

of critical information; and analysis and interpretation of that data/information, in
accordance with suitable methodologies set by specific professional fields and academic
disciplines.
Research is conducted to evaluate the validity of a hypothesis or an interpretive
framework; to assemble a body of substantive knowledge and findings for sharing them in
appropriate manners; and to generate questions for further inquiries.
Simply put, research is the process of discovering new knowledge. This knowledge can be
either the development of new concepts or the advancement of existing knowledge and
theories, leading to a new understanding that was not previously known.
The purpose of research is to enhance society by advancing knowledge through the
development of scientific theories, concepts and ideas. A research purpose is met through
forming hypotheses, collecting data, analysing results, forming conclusions,
implementing findings into real-life applications and forming new research questions.
Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably both within
and between humanities and sciences. There are several forms of
research: scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, [2] social,
business, marketing, practitioner research, life, technological, etc. The scientific study of
research practices is known as meta-research.
Knowing common research terminology helps you understand how to read and interpret
scholarly journal articles so you can more effectively apply the results to real world
human performance. The following are basic research terms and definitions.
Terminology plays an important role in the understanding of contexts and specialized
texts. Understanding the intricate terminological details of the technical and scientific
contexts helps students comprehend what the main message of the document is, and it
helps specialists to transmit the content more effectively.
