It is an accepted fact that nothing stays constant forever. The world keeps on changing as the time passes. Every sector of life is thus likely to undergo the process of evolution. All the scientific researches have been conducted to foster the expansion of these sectors, which is necessary and unavoidable. Researches help to get an idea about the current situation of a specific field/area, problem and also how it can be flourished even more. Research makes path for generating new questions. A research is simply defined as a careful and detailed study related to a specific problem or issue using some scientific methods. It is basically a higher form of projects and case studies.
Research is the process of systematic enquiry that contains collection of data, documentation of important information, analysis and interpretation of the given information or data using suitable methodologies that have been set by the academic disciplines and professional fields. The purpose of conducting research is to get a wide knowledge about a specific topic. It can be applied to both scientific and nonscientific fields. The topic of research can be anything ranging from marketing to medicine. Depended on the topic the types and characteristics of the research varies. Researches are broadly classified into two; Basic or Fundamental research and applied research. Basic research is done to enhance knowledge. It is a noncommercial research that doesn’t help in inventing anything new. On the other hand, applied research help in analyzing and solving real life problems. These two researches are further divided into three based on the particular features. They are qualitative (non-numerical), quantitative (numerical) and mixed. Depends on the time consumed, target audience and methodology, research can be classified into longitudinal, cross sectional, descriptive, explanatory research and so on.
