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.<\/p>\n<p> Research in any discipline requires some kind of analysis, interpretation and an opinion from the researcher.

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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \u00a0\u00a0<strong>\u00a0 Steps in Research work:<\/strong><br \/> \u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Choose the topic<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Narrow down the topic<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Formulate a genuine question which your data will address<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Frame work your research<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Search for references and select bibliography<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prepare notes<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prepare bibliography cards for the notes<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Categorize your notes<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Test hypothesis<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Building a theory<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Verify that all of your data directly relate to your thesis<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Write a detailed outline<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Learn the rules for using quotation<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Learn the rules for using footnotes<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Learn to write a bibliography<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Show credits to other writers and researchers you are using as source.<br \/> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Edit your first draft: repositioning sentences and paragraphs, adding and deleting material to improve your thesis<br \/> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Complete the final copy of the research paper<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Q.The conclusions of a research paper should be<\/strong><br \/> \u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Enjoyable<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Justifiable<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Interesting<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Full of wisdom<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> <strong>Q.Everything written in a research papershould be<\/strong><br \/> \u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Agreeable<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Proper<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Based on Analysis<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Correct as per rules<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> <strong>Q.It\u0393\u00c7\u00d6s the ethical duty of a researcher to get their results published somewhere.
