For a successful career in science and the
research based subjects you must understand the methodology behind any research and be aware of the exact procedure. Research is any gathering of facts, information and details for the advancement of knowledge. Research is a common term which covers all kinds of studies intended to find responses to valuable questions by means of a methodical and logical approach.
A researcher or investigator is the person who conducts research in any institution. There are two types of research qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative research is basic understanding of human behavior and the reasons while systematic experimental investigation of quantitative properties and observable fact. Quantitative research is subjective and involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. Let’s explore the list below.
