Research can be defined as the search for knowledge or as any systematic investigation to establish facts. The primary purpose for applied research (as opposed to basic research) is discovering, interpreting, and the development of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge on a wide variety of scientific matters of our world and the universe. Research can use the scientific method, but need not do so.

Scientific research relies on the application of the scientific method, a harnessing of curiosity. This research provides scientific information and theories for the explanation of the nature and the properties of the world around us. It makes practical applications possible. Scientific research is funded by public authorities, by charitable organizations and by private groups, including many companies. Scientific research can be subdivided into different classifications according to their academic and application disciplines.

Artistic research, also seen as 'practice-based research', can take form when creative works are considered both the research and the object of research itself. It is the debatable body of thought which offers an alternative to purely scientific methods in research in its search for knowledge and truth.

Historical research is embodied in the scientific method.

The phrase my research is also used loosely to describe a person's entire collection of information about a particular subject.

How many pages of research should I have for a 8 page research essay?
Q. I have about 6 pages of research so far. How much more research do you think I need or can I go right into planning me essay?
Asked by Thebomb - Thu Nov 12 11:15:28 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The number of pages of research you have really don't correlate to the number of pages in your essay. If you're writing properly and not plagiarizing, you won't be using pages of your research in your original paper. You can *quote* from your research, but it shouldn't replace your writing. Instead of counting pages of research, think about the idea that you're trying to convey in your paper and how the research that you have gathered supports/proves your idea or contradicts/refutes it. Think also about your outline or the structure of your essay and see where you can quote your research to help advance your premise or thesis statement. Good luck!

How long does it take a junior research analyst to move up to different levels?

When writing a research paper, do you need to cite outside knowledge?
Q. I know that in a research paper, citations must be made for sources. Also, in a DBQ (Document Based Essay), outside information must be cited. So in a research paper, must you cite information that you already knew?
Asked by born2dance94 - Sun Apr 5 15:01:55 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you already know it and most people do too, then it does not have to be cited. If it is knowledge that is only found in a few places or not common knowledge, then cite it for sure.
