Synopsis

Research may be defined as either the pursuit of information or the conduct of an organised inquiry to establish facts. Discovering, interpreting, and developing new techniques and systems with the purpose of advancing human understanding on a variety of scientific topics are the overarching goals of the study. The term research methodology refers to the many approaches that may be used while conducting studies. The process of gathering information for use in a variety of research endeavours is another name for it. The field of study known as research methodology examines the processes through which scientific research is carried out. It is beneficial to have an understanding not just of the results of scientific investigation but also of the process itself. The selection and formulation of a research topic, research design, sample strategy or sample design, as well as the interpretation and compilation of a research report are all steps that are included in the process of doing research. Research may be carried out in a number of different ways, such as descriptive or survey research, as applied or fundamental research, as quantitative or qualitative research, as conceptual or empirical research, and so on.
