Why Is Research Important?

The main purpose of research is to inform action, to prove a theory,
and contribute to developing knowledge in a field or study. This
article will highlight the significance of research with the following
points:
1. A Tool for Building Knowledge and for Facilitating Learning
2. Means to Understand Various Issues and Increase Public
Awareness
3. An Aid to Business Success
4. A Way to Prove Lies and to Support Truths
5. Means to Find, Gauge, and Seize Opportunities
6. A Seed to Love Reading, Writing, Analyzing, and Sharing
Valuable Information
7. Nourishment and Exercise for the Mind
Finding reasons why research is important seems like a no-brainer, but
many people avoid getting involved in research. The lazy (if not
mentally-drained) student is probably thinking "not again," while a
disinterested academic could just be doing it to secure job tenure
and/or a promotion. Yet, for those who like to learn, whether they are
members of a learning institution or not, doing research is not just an
imperative, but a need.
What reasons may drive one to appreciate research and to engage in
it?

1. A Tool for Building Knowledge

and for Facilitating Learning
Research is required not just for students and academics, but for all
professionals. It is also important for budding and veteran writers,
both offline and online.
Among professionals and scribes, finding an interesting topic to
discuss and/or to write about should go beyond personal experience.
Determining either what the general public may want to know about
or what researchers want others to realize or to think about can serve
as a reason to do research.
"Knowledge" basically pertains to facts based on objective insights
and/or study findings processed by the human brain. It can be acquired
through various ways, such as reading books and online articles
written by educators, listening to experts, watching documentaries or
investigative shows, conducting scientific experiments, and interaction
with other people, among others. These facts can be checked to ensure
truthfulness and accuracy.
In epistemology, David Truncellito (n.d.) of Yale University identifies
three kinds of knowledge: procedural (competence or know-how),
acquaintance (familiarity), and propositional (description of "a fact or
a state of affairs"). A factual proposition is commonly used to define
"knowledge".
The Brain Research Trust acknowledges the importance of research in
building knowledge. Undoubtedly, it is crucial to finding possible
cures for diseases, as well as how to prevent them. Thus, research
becomes a must to ascertain if one’s ideas are supported by previous
studies or if these ideas still need proof to be considered as
knowledge.
An example of such endeavor is the 2016 study of several
psychologists who examined how sleep affects memory reactivation.
In "Relearn Faster and Retain Longer: Along With Practice, Sleep
Makes Perfect", they "found that interleaving sleep between learning
sessions not only reduced the amount of practice needed by half but
also ensured much better long-term retention. Sleeping after learning
is definitely a good strategy, but sleeping between two learning
sessions is a better strategy." This study supports the fact that: "Both
repeated practice and sleep improve long-term retention of
information". Their findings also emphasize how highly important
sleep is to healthy brain function.
A study by The World Bank in 2006 also underscored sleep as a key
factor of efficient learning or the process of gaining optimal learning
using few resources. The study reiterated the role of sleep in: (1)
protecting and restoring memory, (2) advanced learning, and (3)
enhancing mathematical ability and problem solving. It further noted
that "knowledge is better consolidated when people study at the time
when they are supposed to be awake rather than, say, late-night
sessions." It cited the need for research on "the memory capacity of
the poor in low-income countries" to enable teachers in helping
underprivileged students learn basic skills.
Said studies on the effects of sleep on the human brain are among the
many topics that have already been examined by academics and
specialists in various universities and medical institutions. A myriad
of research ideas likewise awaits the attention of avid scholars and
inquisitive writers. Indeed, research is instrumental in building and
improving knowledge, as well as in supporting such knowledge with
verifiable facts.

2. Means to Understand Various
Issues and Increase Public
Awareness
Television shows and movies ooze with research - both on the part of
the writer(s) and the actors. Though there are hosts who rely on their
researchers, there are also those who exert effort to do their own
research. This step helps them:
 get information that hired researchers missed,
 build a good rapport with the interviewee, and
 conduct a good interview in the process
For instance, Oprah Winfrey would have not achieved remarkable
success as a news anchor and television show host had she eschewed
doing her own research about certain topics and public figures.
According to entrepreneur and lifestyle coach Paul C. Brunson, in his
interview with emotional intelligence expert and author Justin Bariso
(2017), "Oprah spends a disproportionate amount of her
time gathering information from communities of people outside of her
core (different age groups, social classes, ethnicities, education levels,
careers, etc.) and then she shares that information within her
community." This kind of effort shows the necessary role of research
in helping others and in raising social consciousness.
For their part, some film and TV actors would take time to interview
detectives, boxers, scientists, business owners, criminals, and teachers,
among others. Others even go through immersion to make them
understand the issues of their respective characters better, such as
living in jail or in a drug rehabilitation center. Many would read
literature, biographies, or journals to have a better view or context of
the story.
In her 2017 article about Daniel Day-Lewis, Lynn Hirschberg
described how the multi-awarded actor prepared for his role as
dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock in Paul Thomas Anderson's
film, Phantom Thread. She wrote:
"To become Woodcock, Day-Lewis, who is 60, watched archival
footage of fashion shows from the 1940s and ’50s, studied the lives of
designers, and most important, learned to sew. He consulted with
Cassie Davies-Strodder, then curator of fashion and textiles at the
Victoria and Albert Museum, in London. And for many months he
apprenticed under Marc Happel, who is head of the costume
department at the New York City Ballet, watching intently and then
helping to reconstruct the famous Marc Chagall costumes for a
production of Firebird. At the end of the ballet season, Day-Lewis
decided he needed to build a couture piece from scratch."
Many people within and outside the entertainment industry tend to
belittle what actors do or acting itself. However, professional
thespians like Daniel Day-Lewis exert a great deal of effort to make
their characters believable. The dedication they give to studying their
roles involves a tremendous amount of research.
A number of films, theater plays, broadcast dramas, and online videos
present stories based on real-life events and problems. A serious writer
or content producer sees how vital research is in substantiating the
context of the featured stories to entertain and/or educate audiences in
different media platforms.
As Terry Freedman opined in "The Importance of Research for ICT
Teachers" (2011): "Research can shed light on issues we didn’t even
know existed, and can raise questions we hadn’t realised even needed
asking." Thus, almost all writers of imaginary tales and non-fictive
accounts do research, for doing so helps them create a good story
and/or achieve strong credibility.

3. An Aid to Business Success

Research benefits business. Many successful companies, such as those
producing consumer goods or mass-market items, invest in research
and development or R&D. Different business industries with science
and engineering processes like agriculture, food and beverage,
manufacturing, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, computer software,
semiconductor, information and communication technology,
construction, robotics, aerospace, aviation, and energy have high R&D
expenditure because it is critical to product innovation and to
improving services.
R&D also helps secure a vantage point over competitors. Finding out
how to make things happen and what could differentiate them from
others that offer similar products and services can raise the company’s
market value. Certainly, having relevant knowledge in achieving a
good commercial image through sound business strategies like
investing in R&D can boost its profitability.
In addition, R&D is essential to supporting a country's economy. For
instance, the United Kingdom's Department of Business Innovation
and Skills (BIS), now known as the Department for Business, Energy
and Industrial Strategy, used to publish an annual R&D Scoreboard.
The report served "...as a benchmarking tool for companies, investors
and policymakers" for 20 years. However, due to the UK
government's austerity measures, it was last produced in 2010.

4. A Way to Prove Lies and to

Support Truths
Ever experienced feeling that your mate is having an affair behind
your back? Some people would overlook that and say that it's better
not to know; others though would take discreet action, hiring
detectives to do the work. What does research have to do with that
situation? A lot.
Doing research to reveal lies or truths involving personal affairs
contributes in either making a relationship work or in breaking away
from a dysfunctional one. For the monogamous lot, doing research to
disprove or prove infidelity is not simply a trust issue, but a right to
find out the truth - unless one's intimate partner has already admitted
being polyamorous even before the relationship started. When a
person dislikes answering relationship-related questions, including her
or his whereabouts, it is better to see that as a red flag and take baby
steps to save yourself from what could become a more serious
emotional mess later.
Scientists also deal with research to test the validity and reliability of
their claims or those of other scientists'. Their integrity and
competence depend on the quality - and not just quantity - of their
research. Nonetheless, not everything scientists come up with get
accepted or learned by everyone, especially when factors like religion,
state suppression, and access to resources and social services (e.g.,
education and adequate health programs) either feed the poor majority
with lies or deter them from knowing truths to preserve the status quo.
Professional and credible journalists undertake thorough research to
establish the veracity of their stories. The movie "Shattered Glass"
shown in 2003 tells the rise-and-fall story of a real-life journalist who
worked for the The New Republic based in New York City. Sans
investigative research done by fellow journalists, Stephen Glass could
have written more fictitious pieces for said editorial magazine.
With the use of internet technology and social media, pseudo
journalism has become a social concern. Fake news took center stage
during the 2016 presidential campaign period in the United States. For
instance, Snopes.com, a rumor research site, debunked the following
"scoops" posted online:
 An FBI agent believed to be responsible for the latest email leaks
“pertinent to the investigation” into Hillary Clinton’s private email
server while she was Secretary of State, was found dead in an
apparent murder-suicide... (Reported on November 5, 2016 by
the Denver Guardian)
 In a final speech to the synod, Pope Francis endorsed Senator
Bernie Sanders for President of the United States... (Reported on
October 26, 2015 by the National Report and USAToday.com.co)
 Thousands of pre-marked ballots for Hillary Clinton and other
Democratic candidates were found in a warehouse in Ohio.
(Reported on September 30, 2016 by the Christian Times
Newspaper)
 Assange: Bernie Sanders Was Threatened To Drop Out Of The
Race (Reported on August 29, 2016 by USA Supreme)
 News outlets around the world are reporting on the news that Pope
Francis has made the unprecedented decision to endorse a US
presidential candidate. His statement in support of Donald
Trump... (Reported in July 2016 by the WTOE 5 News)
 After Gay Club Massacre - Phoenix LGBT Officially Endorses
Trump (Reported on June 13, 2016 by the Gateway Pundit)
 African-American supporter of Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump has died after allegedly sustaining gunshot wounds
in the aftermath of Friday night's chaos in Chicago. (Reported on
March 12, 2016 by the Christian Times Newspaper)
According to Pew Research, social media, especially Facebook, serve
as the source of news for over 60 percent of adult Americans (Chang,
Lefferman, Pedersen & Martz, 2016). Besides the platform, fake news
have become profitable for pseudo journalists whose main goal is to
attract reader clicks that lead to Google Adsense revenues.
Fact-checking to know the truth is integral to the process of research,
for it is fueled by an inquisitive and critical mind. Murray, Social
News and UGC Hub (2016) suggest that before news readers share
information on social media, they need to assess the integrity of the
news source and check for similar news on legitimate media outlets.
Genuine journalists do not rely on imagination for their news reports
nor do they avoid doing research. They eschew propaganda and have
no intention of misleading the public. They are messengers of truth,
not lies.

5. Means to Find, Gauge, and Seize

Opportunities
Research helps people nurture their potential and achieve goals
through various opportunities. These can be in the form of securing
employment, scholarships, training grants, project funding, business
collaboration, and budget traveling, among others.
For those looking for a job or for greener pastures, research is
necessary. Through this process, not only will the unemployed
increase their chances of finding potential employers either through
job posting sites or employment agencies, but it can inform them
if work opportunities are legitimate. Without research, the gullible, yet
hopeful jobseeker or migrant worker may fall prey to unscrupulous
headhunters who might be involved in illegal recruitment and/or
human trafficking.
After finding a free or low-cost academic course or skills development
training, students and professionals can assess their eligibility and
know about application requirements and deadlines. Such an
opportunity could hone their skills and knowledge, as well as enable
them to build new connections.
Doing research also benefit civil society and its members. Funding for
projects and research initiatives has been a top concern for those who
want to address social issues. However, not all funding organizations
accept proposals year-long nor are they interested in solving many
social problems. Thus, it is necessary to research for agencies that
match the objectives of individuals and non-profits involved in
advocacy or programs that seek social change.
A wannabe business owner can likewise meet potential investors
through research. He/She can examine their profiles and they can do
the same. A good fit in terms of vision, mission, goals and work ethic,
as well as the capital needed to launch the business is critical to
making the opportunity succeed for both.
Some hobbies and interests are expensive to pursue. One of these is
traveling. For budget-conscious tourists, searching for airfare and
hotel promos, discount rides, and cheap markets is certainly a must to
maximize the value of their money.
Seizing opportunities can broaden one's social network, raise one's
awareness, or secure the support one direly needs to start a project or a
business. Indeed, research contributes to a person's ability to make
life-changing decisions. It encourages self-growth, participation in
worthwhile causes, and living productively.

Seek Opportunities Through

Online Research
The internet provides people a convenient way to engage in research.

6. A Seed to Love Reading,

Writing, Analyzing, and Sharing
Valuable Information
Research entails both reading and writing. These two literacy
functions help enable computation and comprehension. Without these
skills, it is less likely for anyone to appreciate and get involved in
research. Reading opens the mind to a vast horizon of knowledge,
while writing helps a reader use her/his own perspective and transform
this into a more concrete idea that s/he understands.
Apart from reading and writing, listening and speaking are also
integral in conducting research. Interviews, attending knowledge-
generating events, and casual talks with anyone certainly aid in
formulating research topics. They can also facilitate the critical
thinking process. Listening to experts discuss the merits of their
studies helps the listener to analyze a certain issue and write about
such analysis.
With the wide array of ideas available, scholars and non-scholars
involved in research are able to share information with a larger
audience. Some view this process as ego-boosting, while others see it
as a means to stimulate interest and encourage further studies about
certain issues or situations.
As literacy is integral in improving a person's social and economic
mobility and in increasing awareness, research then hones necessary
basic life skills and makes learning a life-long endeavor.

7. Nourishment and Exercise for

the Mind
Curiosity may kill not just the cat, but the human as well. Yet, it is the
same curiosity that fuels the mind to seek for answers. The College
Admissions Partners (n.d.) notes how scientific research in particular
"helps students develop critical reasoning skills...helpful for any field
of higher education..." Such search or the thinking process is food for
the brain, allowing creativity and logic to remain active. It also helps
prevent mental illnesses like Alzheimer's.
Several studies have shown that mentally stimulating activities like
doing research can contribute to brain health. In "Educating the Brain
to Avoid Dementia: Can Mental Exercise Prevent Alzheimer
Disease?", Margaret Gatz (2005) enumerated research findings that
support such position. However, she also noted that there may be other
factors involved in averting said mental problem. One of these is
intelligence. A study involving 11 year-old pupils in Scotland in 2000,
for instance, pointed to intelligence quotient (IQ) scores as "predictive
of future dementia risk". Gatz opined that clinical trials are needed and
that "conclusions must be based on large samples, followed over a
long period of time." She further posited:
"...we have little evidence that mental practice will help prevent the
development of dementia. We have better evidence that good brain
health is multiply determined, that brain development early in life
matters, and that genetic influences are of great importance in
accounting for individual differences in cognitive reserve and in
explaining who develops Alzheimer disease and who does not...
For older adults, health practices that could influence the brain include
sound nutrition, sufficient sleep, stress management, treatment of
mood or anxiety disorders, good vascular health, physical exercise,
and avoidance of head trauma. But there is no convincing evidence
that memory practice and other cognitively stimulating activities are
sufficient to prevent Alzheimer disease; it is not just a case of “use it
or lose it.”"
Gatz would have not formed such perspective if she failed to conduct
her own research about the effects of mentally stimulating activities
on the human brain. This demonstrates how research can be both an
exciting and challenging cerebral endeavor. Various studies may or
may not support each other based on gathered information and/or
other evidence. Data collection and analysis are vital aspects of the
research process. These are mental activities that both expend brain
energy and nurture brain health.
Indeed, research and doing research encourage people to explore
possibilities, to understand existing issues, and to disclose truths and
fabricated ones. Without research, technological advancement and
other developments could have remained a fantasy. Reading, writing,
observing, analyzing, and social interaction facilitate an inquisitive
mind's quest for knowledge, learning, and wisdom. Research serves as
a bridge to achieve that goal.

How to Conduct Research for
Beginners
Research is about contributing to a growing pool of knowledge and
information. Although we inherently are curious as kids and young
adults, there is a methodology for conducting research. Use the
following tips to get you started:
Organize and prioritize your available resources. It is important to
set out a suitable timeframe for your project and to assemble all the
necessary literature, source of information (computer/internet), and
financial budget.
Identify the central question that will be explored in your
paper. Generally, there is only one research question per project, but
if your project prompts you to engage with several different questions
then you should write several papers. For example, you may write a
paper on both the impact and the validity of a written consent
agreement form at a medical facility. Strong research questions are
specific, original, and relevant to society and the scientific
community.
Research existing literature on the appropriate database related
to your topic.Scientific journals are a good place to start. Identify the
contribution that each study provides in the context of your research
question. Examine relationships and methods of interpretation of the
data through a careful lens.

Common Errors Involved in

Research
Designing a research project and writing a paper is no simple feat.
Participants should be ready to dedicate an ample amount of time and
dedication to avoid burnout or overwhelming themselves. Here are
some common mistakes that are made in both the set-up of the project
and the research paper.

Errors in the Research Process

1. Population mistakes are as avoidable as they are common in
research. It would be helpful if you define the characteristics of the
group that you wish to be included in your project and specify the
population for your question. For example, it would probably be
more beneficial to survey women about their likelihood that they
talk through their problems as opposed to men.
2. Sampling mistakes are another common research issue.. Be sure
to broaden the sample if you feel as though it is too small toe
generalize. For example, if 10% of therapists at Happy Clinic are
dependent on marijuana, this does not mean that 10% of therapists
in the nation are as well.
3. The Sample Selection process is another potential research issue.
If you were randomly choosing participants in person, let’s say the
mall, you would not want to only seek participants who are
receptive and agreeable. These are usually your friends and
acquaintances whose characteristics are similar to yours. Replace
your non-probability selection method with true random samples
from a defined population. These are usually the most
scientifically sound.

Common Errors Associated With Research

Papers
 The research question or aim is vague or is not specific enough.
 The structure of the paper is unorganized.
 The introduction is an extensive list of previous findings.
 Tables do not relate to the main question.
 The method and results sections are not defined in detail.
 The discussion does not answer the stated research question.

Make Reading Books a Habit

Even with the Internet, reading books remains important to doing
research. | Source

Ways to Improve Research Skills

Are you interested in further developing your ability to do research?
Try the following steps:
 Read hard copy and electronic books about research. If you do not
have a computer with Internet connection, you can go to the
library, a nearby bookstore, or ask a close friend or relative to lend
you her/his smartphone or laptop so you could look for books or
articles about research. If you have access to the Internet, you can
watch online tutorial videos on research. High school students can
learn from this presentation, for instance:
 Watch films and read different kinds of books, fiction and
otherwise. These sources can ignite your curiosity and drive you to
seek more information. You might want to jot down notes about
the topics discussed and/or what you have learned. You might
wonder why this is part of the research process. Watching movies,
reading books, and writing various stuff hone your comprehension
and ability to analyze. These can improve your vocabulary and aid
you in finding your voice as a researcher.
For those who intend to be full-fledged researchers, consider doing
these steps:
 Attend training-seminars, workshops, and conferences aimed at
deepening your knowledge and honing your skills in doing
research. These events are conducted by various organizations,
particularly universities and "think tank" agencies. Use search
engines to look for these opportunities, as well as for scholarships
that could help you finance your participation in these activities.
 Search for reputable researchers in your field of interest, especially
if you plan to pursue postgraduate studies. You could email an
academic, a scientist, or another professional to inquire about their
opinion on your thesis or dissertation topic. Having a research
mentor can help you gain a broader understanding of what
research is all about. He or She can likewise enrich your
experience and insights as a researcher.
 The human quest to seek knowledge, satisfy one's sense of wonder,
develop more abilities, connect with others, and understand society is
integral to research. Perpetuating truths, as well as debunking lies and
myths require inquisitive minds and priceless integrity. As the world
continues to evolve, doing research becomes more important as a skill
with enduring rewards.

it was really interesting learning about these 7 reasons why it's

important to do research. The one that best resonated with me and my
life the most was #2 as I have always found myself trying to look out
for others before myself. I think it matched well with me because I
tend to lean towards the morality aspect and how it affects others. I
agree that reason #2, for the most part, does that.

This hub is really helpful I took pleasure in taking the time to read it.
The one I enjoyed the most was number 7 about nourishment and
exercise for the mind. This one I felt most connected to because as a
student I am still improving my research skills. I agree that curiosity is
what fuels the mind to seek for answers. Especially nowadays when
you can basically research about anything on the internet.

Patricia A Tusay

I really enjoyed reading all the reasons for doing research. I especially
liked number 4. This one was about learning the truth and facts. It is
very important to know what all the facts are today since everyone is
talking about fake everything.
 Thank you!

Hello there,
I'm really impressed with the words that you has written. That is so
clear and easy to understand.
My team from Vietnam is going to have a workshop about researching
skill next month so i want to ask for your permission to use the point
no.7 "Nourishment and Exercise for the Mind " in your article to
prove our standpoint. We just want to take notes and a quote from it
and give the link of the articles in the reference.
If you are happy for me to use it, please let me know.
Thank you so much and keep on your great job.
Best regards,
Kate.
