    Research follows a systematic and logical approach using both inductive and deductive reasoning. It relies on collecting accurate and real data through direct observation in natural settings. Researchers must analyze all data in-depth without anomalies and generate new questions or opportunities for further research from their findings, while maintaining ethical standards and accuracy. There are different types of research including basic, applied, problem-oriented, problem-solving, and qualitative research, each with their own specific focuses and methodologies.

    Characteristics of Research

    1. A systematic approach is followed in research. Rules and


    procedures are an integral part of research that set the
    objective of a research process. Researchers need to practice
    ethics and code of conduct while making observations or
    drawing conclusions.

    2. Research is based on logical reasoning and involves both


    inductive and deductive methods.

    3. The data or knowledge that is derived is in real time, actual


    observations in the natural settings.

    4. There is an in-depth analysis of all the data collected from


    research so that there are no anomalies associated with it.

    5. Research creates a path for generating new questions. More


    research opportunity can be generated from existing research.

    6. Research is analytical in nature. It makes use of all the


    available data so that there is no ambiguity in inference.

    7. Accuracy is one of the important character of research, the


    information that is obtained while conducting the research
    should be accurate and true to its nature. For example,
    research conducted in a controlled environment like a
    laboratory. Here accuracy is measured of instruments used,
    calibrations, and the final result of the experiment.

    What are the types of Research?


    Following are the types of research:

    Basic Research: Basic research is mostly conducted to


    enhance knowledge. It covers fundamental aspects of
    research. The main motivation of this research is knowledge
    expansion. It is a non-commercial research and doesn’t
    facilitate in creating or inventing anything. For example, an
    experiment is a good example of basic research.

    Applied Research: Applied research focuses on analyzing and


    solving real-life problems. This type of research refers to the
    study that helps solve practical problems using scientific
    methods. This research plays an important role in solving
    issues that impact the overall well-being of humans. For
    example, finding a specific cure for a disease.

    Problem Oriented Research: As the name suggests, problem-


    oriented research is conducted to understand the exact nature
    of the problem to find out relevant solutions. The term
    “problem” refers to having issues or two thoughts while making
    any decisions.

    For e.g Revenue of a car company has decreased by 12% in


    the last year. The following could be the probable causes:
    There is no optimum production, poor quality of a product, no
    advertising, economic conditions etc.

    Problem Solving Research: This type of research is


    conducted by companies to understand and resolve their own
    problems. The problem-solving research uses applied research
    to find solutions to the existing problems.

    Qualitative Research: Qualitative research is a process that is


    about inquiry, that helps in-depth understanding of the
    problems or issues in their natural settings. This is a non-
    statistical research method.

    Qualitative research is heavily dependent on the experience of


    the researchers and the questions used to probe the sample.
    The sample size is usually restricted to 6-10 people in a
    sample. Open-ended questions are asked in a manner that one
    question leads to another. The purpose of asking open-ended
    questions is to gather as much information as possible from the
    sample.
    Following are the methods used for qualitative research:

    1. One-to-one interview
    2. Focus groups
    3. Ethnographic Research
    4. Content/ Text Analysis
    5. Case study research
