    Research is defined as the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of data to answer questions or solve problems. The objectives of research include gaining familiarity with phenomena, accurately portraying characteristics of individuals or groups, and testing hypotheses. There are several types of research including descriptive vs analytical, applied vs fundamental, quantitative vs qualitative, and conceptual vs empirical. The research process involves identifying a problem, reviewing literature, developing hypotheses, designing and executing a study, analyzing data, and reporting conclusions.

    Nature and Scope of Research Methodology

    What Is Research?
    RESEARCH is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of data to answer a certain question or solve a problem. It is an art of scientific investigation. According to Clifford Research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions; collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making deductions and reaching conclusions; and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis.

    Objectives of Research
    To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights into it. To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual , situation or a group. To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associatedwith something else. To test a hypothesis of a casual relationship between variables.

    Motivation in Research
    Desire to get a research degree along with its consequential benefits. Desire to face the challenge in solving the unsolved problems. Desire to get intellectual joy of doing some creative work. Desire to be of service to society. Desire to get respectability.

    Types of Research
    Descriptive vs. Analytical:
     Descriptive research includes surveys and fact-finding enquiries of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is description of the state of affairs as it exists at present. In this researcher has no control over the variables; he can only report what has happened or what is happening. In analytical research researcher has to use facts or information already available, and analyse these to make a critical evaluation of the material.

    Applied vs. Fundamental:


    
    Applied research aims at finding a solution for an immediate problem facing a society or an industrial/business organisation.  Fundamental research is concerned with generalisations and with the formulation of a theory.

    Quantitative vs. Qualitative:


     Quantitative research is applicable to phenomenon that can be expressed in terms of quantity.

    Qualitative research is concerned with qualitative phenomenon, i.e., phenomenon relating to or involving quality or kind. Qualitative research is important in behavioural sciences where the aim is to discover theh underlying motives of human behaviour.

    Conceptual vs. Empirical:


    

    Conceptual research is related to some abstract idea(s) or theory. It is generally used by philosophers and thinkers to develop new concepts or to reinterpret existing ones.

    Empirical research relies on experience or observation alone. It is data based research, coming up with conclusions which are capable of being verified by observation or experiment.

    Some other types of Research:


         One time research Longitudinal research Historical research Conclusion oriented Decision oriented
