Research provides the researcher with all crucial information in his field of
work, study or operation before he starts working on it.
Collect essential information
At times, there are inherent problems in a process or a project that is difficult to find out. Research helps people unearth the root cause and related components of a process.
Create changes
Only through research can new inventions and discoveries come into life.
Improving Standard of Living
Research has made ground breaking discoveries and developments in the fields of health, food technology, medicine and so on which improved the life expectancy and health conditions of human race and helped eradicate certain diseases.
For a Safer Life
Research investigated and exposed many established facts that are just
blatant lies.
To Know the Truth
Research about planets history and human history has enabled people to learn and understand more about their forefathers and helped learn from their mistakes and absorb good things from them.
Explore History
Research helps us understand the works of artists in Literature,
paintings, sculptures, and other things with artistic touch.
Understanding Arts
Research is based on direct experience or observation by the researcher.
Empirical
Research is based on valid procedures and principles.
Logical
Research begins with a problem and concludes with a problem.
Cyclical
Research shows cautious and exact judgment.
Critical
Research is performed in a methodical manner without prejudice using systematic methods and procedures.
Methodical
The research design and procedures are replicated or repeated to enable the researcher to arrive at valid and conclusive results.
Replicability
Strive for honesty in all scientific communications. Honestly report data, results, methods and procedures, and publication status. Do not fabricate, falsify, or misrepresent data. Do not deceive colleagues, research sponsors, or the public.
HONESTY
Strive to avoid bias in the data analysis, interpretation, and other aspects of research where objectivity is expected. Avoid self-deception and disclose personal or financial interests.
OBJECTIVITY
Keep your promises and agreements; act with sincerity; strive for consistency of thought and action.
INTEGRITY
Avoid careless errors and negligence; carefully and critically examine your own work and the work of your peers. Keep good records of research activities, such as data collection, research design etc.
CAREFULNESS
Honor copyrights, and other forms of intellectual property. Do not use
unpublished data, methods, or results without permission. Never plagiarize.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Protect confidential communications, such as papers or grants submitted for publication, personnel records, trade or military secrets, and patient records.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Help educate, mentor, and advise students. Promote their welfare and allow them to make their own decisions.
RESPONSIBLE MENTORING
Publish in order to advance research and scholarship, not to advance just your own career. Avoid wasteful and duplicative publication.
RESPONSIBLE PUBLICATION
Maintain and improve your own professional competence and expertise through lifelong education and learning; take steps to promote competence in science as a whole.
COMPETENCE
Show proper respect and care for animals when using them in research. Do not conduct unnecessary or poorly designed animal experiments.
ANIMAL CARE
Minimize harms, and risks to maximize benefits; take special precautions with vulnerable populations.
HUMAN SUBJECTS PROTECTION
you immerse yourself in the target participants’ environment to understand the goals, cultures, challenges, motivations, and themes that emerge. Rather than relying on interviews or surveys, you experience the environment first hand, and sometimes as a “participant observer.”
ETHNOGRAPHY
is all about collecting and telling a story or stories (in detail). Researchers write narratives about experiences of individuals, describe a life experience, and discuss the meaning of the experience with the individual.
NARRATIVE
you use a combination of methods, such as conducting interviews, reading documents, watching videos, or visiting places and events, to understand the meaning participants place on whatever’s being examined.
You rely on the participants’ own perspectives to provide insight into their motivations.
PHENOMENOLOGICAL
Whereas a phenomenological study looks to describe the essence of an activity or event, looks to provide an explanation or theory behind the events. You use primarily interviews and existing documents to build a theory based on the data.
GROUNDED THEORY
rooted in several disciplines, including science, education, medicine, and law. It is used when the researcher wants to focus on how and why, the behavior is to be observed, not manipulated, to further understand a given phenomenon, and if the boundaries between the context and phenomena are not clear. Multiple methods can be used to gather data, including interviews, observation, and historical documentation.
