the prefix re which means again and search is to look something
Research
May want to look or search for new ideas, improve certain processes, create something useful our of something old, explain a series of observation or look at something in a different perspective using a new investigative lens
Researchers
Verifying or proving the veracity of existing theories or knowledge. Development of new ideas, strengthening a current knowledge or debunking a theory.
Verification of existing knowledge
Brings forth new ideas regarding a theory or even create a totally new theory
Acquisition of new knowledge
Once new ideas or innovations are proven true, they are then utilized and translated something useful to humankind. It is only through utilizing the results of research that one truly fulfill the ultimate purpose of research, that is, to alleviate people’s quality of life.
Application of new knowledge
As researchers conduct more investigations, they do not only verify theories or discover new ideas and technologies, but also gain relevant experiences that enhance and deepen their knowledge and skills in the area of their investigations. In the process, they become experts of a particular field and gain the respect of their fellow researchers, a recognition that may bring them to the list of Who’s Who in the world of research.
Advancement of the Researcher’s Expertise
When its purpose is to provide a foundation for future studies, the research is called an exploratory investigation. This kind of research seeks to find more information about a topic and a broader perspective or an additional knowledge to what is currently known. A researcher may explore a new topic of interest or explore new angles of a theory. Exploring new topics may lead to unexpected discoveries, ideas, or phenomena. Moreover, a researcher may also explore other perspectives or other processes aside from what is currently known, such as exploring a better process or finding new ways to deal with a particular process.
Exploration
When the primary purpose of research is to give additional information on newly discovered ideas that are results of exploration, it is called descriptive research. Descriptive research fills in the details and gaps regarding a particular idea, with the intent to expand understanding. Here, more information is needed to be supplied in order to answer the what’ and how questions instead of formulating unsure explanations.
Description
Once newly discovered ideas are described thoroughly, it is imperative for researchers to understand why these came into existence. Connection between these ideas needs to be established to advance the body of knowledge. This task of looking at how things are connected and how they interact is the primary purpose of an explanatory research. This type of research aims to explain relationships existing between variables, quantitatively or qualitatively.
Explanation
Research is a realistic undertaking that must result in empirical data. Empirical data are those derived from actual observations of a phenomenon, interviews of people who have witnessed an incident, analysis of first-hand document sources, excavation of artifacts, and other actions that yield valid evidence of one’s investigations.
Realistic
Research follows valid, definite principles, frameworks, and procedures. There are proper, logical, and ethical approaches to search for answers to a specific research question. Failure to follow these procedures correctly may yield invalid and unreliable outcomes.
Logical
Research is cyclical. It starts with a problem and ends with another. As soon as a research question is answered, other questions may arise. These new questions may refine the answers generated, fine-tune the research methods, or modify the answered research question. This process continues until such time that a purified body of knowledge is attained.
Cyclical
After employing strictly and correctly the predetermined procedure and gathering empirical data, the latter must be analyzed to elicit the desired meaning from the obtained information. It is only through this process that research results become relevant not only to the people who participated in the investigation the respondents-but also to those who share similar characteristics.
Proper analysis of the data should be done before making final conclusions.
Analytical
defined as the lack of bias or prejudice. Analysis and interpretation of data, and drawing out implications from research data must be free from bias and alteration to favor a certain hypothesis, a personality, or an organization. Inclination toward bias results to the total failure of the research activity.
Objective
when the researcher is careful and precise in processing ideas and judgment. In this way, a high level of confidence can be established on the execution of research procedures to gather empirical data, analysis and interpretation of results, and formulation of valid conclusions and appropriate recommendations. This is especially true in qualitative research where statistics yields little help, unlike in quantitative research. The credibility of the researcher plays an important and critical role in qualitative research.
Critical
Research procedures must be written clearly and chronologically for it to be replicable, such that other researchers can redo or repeat the investigation with the intent of verifying the generated information. It is only through this process of replication that a particular research can claim verifiability of valid and reliable or consistent results. Activities that cannot be repeated do not possess this characteristic and, therefore, cannot be technically classified as research.
Replicable

Applied research

Identifying the research problem, Formulating hypothesis and designing ting of and study, collecting and organizing data, analyzing data and testing hypotheses, intercepting data and reporting results

concept of morality must be understood or the process of applying moral standards and principles in any undertaking
ethics

ethics gives the researcher from committing misconduct while seeking knowledge and truth and respecting and protecting the rights of the respondents- humans or animals.
