“If we knew what it was we
were doing, it would not be called research, would it?”
Einstein
"Research is often
described as an active, diligent, and systematic process
of inquiry aimed at
discovering,
interpreting, and
revising
facts. This
intellectual
investigation produces a
greater
knowledge of events,
behaviors,
theories,
and
laws and makes practical
applications possible. The term research is also used to describe
an entire collection of
information about a
particular subject, and is usually associated with the output of
science and the
scientific method.
The
word research derives from the French recherche, from rechercher,
to search closely where "chercher" means "to search"
(see
French language);
its literal meaning is 'to investigate thoroughly'. Research is
funded by public authorities, by charitable organisations and by private
groups, including many companies."
