The two primary purposes of research are to gather information or test an existing theory. When broken down further, you can see 5 more specific purposes: Exploratory research is an early-stage inquiry that explores a topic for further study down the line, like exploring the deep ocean with a submersible vehicle. Descriptive research aims to explore and describe a specific substance, person, or phenomenon. Explanatory research is about figuring out the causal relationship, why something happens. Predictive research is all about trying to predict what might happen in specific situations based on the properties of the research object. Meta-research looks for overarching insights from multiple sources and tests the validity of common hypotheses. A research work plan is another name for a research plan, which is a critical component of any research proposal. Universities, labs, and companies use them to evaluate research projects before they decide to accept them. As a researcher, it’s essential when targeting a funding opportunity of any kind. There are many research methods ranging from a simple online survey to a high-budget clinical study. Popular data collection methods: 1.Clinical trials 2.Experiments 3.Surveys 4.Interviews 5.Case studies 6.Observations.Which one is right for your plan depends on your hypothesis, goals, industry regulations, and more.
