What Is Research

This document defines research and describes the research process. It states that research starts with identifying a problem and collecting and analyzing data to make an evidence-based decision. Research is described as a careful, systematic process of solving problems through recognized methods of data collection, analysis, and interpretation. The key aspects of research identified are that it is a systematic and iterative process that involves identifying a problem, formulating hypotheses, collecting data, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. Additionally, the document outlines the research cycle/spiral of identifying a problem, reviewing literature, setting objectives, collecting data, analyzing/interpreting data, reporting/evaluating, and reviewing again. It poses the question of how research can improve quality of life and provides evaluation

 make a list of key words
 be flexible
 define your topic as a focused research question
 research and read more about your topic
 formulate a thesis statement
