RESEARCH PROCESS
In any area of study, there are a number of methods to analysis, regardless of
whether it is applied research or fundamental research. In certain respects, each
specific research study would be special because of the specific time, setting,
climate and place in which it is carried out. Nonetheless, all research activities have
a common purpose of fostering our understanding of the issue and hence all go
through some specific phases, establishing a mechanism called the research
process. To carry out research and sequencing of the stages inherent in the process
effectively, an understanding of the research process is necessary.

CHOOSE YOUR TOPIC
Come up with some ideas first. You can begin very broadly with your thesis or
dissertation topic. Think about the general field or field in which you are interested-it
is often a good idea to choose a subject that you already know a bit about. To begin
narrowing down your subject, do some reading. In your field, look for the top journals
and skim through some recent issues. Check the reference list to find other relevant
sources if an article interests you.
IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM
Identifying a research issue is the first and foremost activity in the entire phase of
scientific research. A well-identified problem will lead the researcher, starting from
setting targets to choosing the research methodology, to complete all-important
phases of the research process. But the main question is whether research is
necessary for all problems. We have innumerable problems.
REVIEW THE LITERATURE
Now that the issue has been established, the investigator must learn more about the
subject being examined. The researcher must study the literature related to the issue
of research to do this. This move offers basic knowledge of the problem area. The
literature review also tells the researcher what studies have been done in the past,
how these studies have been conducted. Not only does such a study provide him
with exposure to a wider body of information, but it also equips him with improved
knowledge to pursue the research process effectively. The investigator will establish
the coherence between the findings of his research and those of the others through
a proper analysis of the literature.

FORMULATING HYPOTHESIS
In this step, the researcher makes the problem precise. What the researcher intends
to test? What is the interplay between variables? Specify your variables for
independent and dependent. The researcher steps forward on how to address the
issue. A definite hypothesis can be formulated based on the essence of the research
issue. A theory is evaluated. In such a way that obtained factual data can provide
evidence that either supports or disproves them, successful study work formulates a
hypothesis. Hypothesis formulation in analysis will make you more expert.
CREATE A RESEARCH DESIGN
The research design is the blueprint or framework for fulfilling objectives and
answering research questions. It is a master plan that describes the strategies and
processes for gathering, processing and analyzing the data collected. A practical
process for addressing your research questions is research design. It includes
making decisions about the type of information you need, the techniques you would
use to obtain and evaluate it, and your study location and time scale.
DATA ANALYSIS
Data collection is a methodological mechanism by which detailed information is
gathered and evaluated in order to provide answers to related problems and review
the findings. It focuses on finding out more about a specific topic. In order to be
further subjected to hypothesis testing that aims to explain a phenomenon, data is
collected.
FINDING CONCLUSIONS
Conclusions refer to the degree of accomplishment of the goals and objectives of
science. You will have to explain in this final section of your dissertation why you
conclude that research goals and objectives have been accomplished. Study
limitations and recommendations for future research often need to be covered by
assumptions. This stage includes talking about the results and drawing conclusions.
Findings are sometimes in the form of a table, graph, statistic or percentage. To
explain the outcome, the conversation includes using terms. The discussion segment
is where the researcher presents viewpoints based on the research results. The
investigator then draws conclusions and can make suggestions based on the results.
REPORT RESEARCH FINDINGS
The final step is to report the results of the study to those who need the knowledge
to make decisions. The results should be provided in an accessible manner so that
they can be conveniently used in the process of decision-making. Furthermore, to
increase transparency and effect, an oral presentation should be provided to
management using tables, figures, and graphs.
