What is Research?
Research is making logical and methodical inferences from accurate data. It, naturally, involves phases viz. hypothesis, inquiry, data collection, analysis, verification, generalization and the openings for falsification. The rules and phases may vary from discipline to discipline, even within the braches of the same discipline. However, the general pattern is more or less the same.
Research in any discipline requires some kind of analysis, interpretation and an opinion from the researcher. Thus it can be said to be
Research can be classified as theoretical, applied and action oriented. It can be descriptive or analytic/conceptual or empirical/ quantitative or qualitative. Research must follow some scientific methods like identifying the problem, naming the problem, formulating hypothesis, searching for evidence, testing hypothesis and generalization. A hypothesis is a prediction of a relationship between one or more factors and the problem under study that can be tested. It is a tentative statement showing the relationship between two or more variables, the reliability and validity of which is to be tested and verified. A variable is an empirical property that takes two or more values. Anything that can vary can be considered a variable. In short research is a scientific procedure to test and verify the hypothesis using modern techniques.
