    Research is a method for developing knowledge that involves: 1) Identifying a problem to study, 2) Conducting empirical studies to collect and analyze data related to the problem, and 3) Replicating and synthesizing prior studies to build upon the knowledge. Research aims to objectively and logically understand phenomena through verifiable and public methods, though it also has limitations such as issues with human subjects and complexity. Research can be basic, seeking to explain phenomena, or applied, focusing on practical solutions. It uses quantitative or qualitative approaches that differ in assumptions, purpose, methods, and role of the researcher.
