Research, in its broadest sense, may be thought of as the process of systematically collecting and analyzing data to gain a deeper understanding of a topic. The research employs methodical approaches to address theoretical and applied concerns. “Studiously inquiring or examining; investigating or experimenting to discover & interpret facts, revise the accepted theories or laws in light of the new facts, or put such new or revised theories or laws into practical application” is how the Oxford English Dictionary defines research. Some individuals see research as a progression, one that moves from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Inquisitiveness is a fundamental human trait since it compels us to wonder and investigate to get a deeper and deeper grasp of the world around us. Curiosity is the seed from which all knowledge grows, and the process by which humans learn about the world is what we call study. The word “research” must be used in a specialized context since it refers to a scholarly endeavour. Therefore, research is the original addition to the body of knowledge that contributes to its development. Science is the methodical investigation of the world via the use of analogy, comparison, and experiment. Research, in a nutshell, is the pursuit of answers to questions via the use of a methodical, objective process. Research also includes the methodical process of drawing broad conclusions and developing a hypothesis.
