    This document discusses the meaning and characteristics of research. Research is defined as a systematic process of investigation to discover answers and expand knowledge. It involves both inductive and deductive reasoning methods. Some key characteristics are that research must follow systematic procedures, be based on logical reasoning, and aim for accuracy. The document also discusses common problems researchers face, such as lack of scientific training, copying other works, limited access to literature, high publishing costs, and difficulty finding sponsors.

    MEANING OF RESEARCH

     Research means search of knowledge.

     It aims at finding out truth.

     Art of Scientific investigation.

     Way of thinking, critically examining aspects of daily life.

     Fact finding Process. A movement from the Known to Unknown.

     Research is an Organised and Systematic way of Finding the Answers to Questions.


    DEFINITION OF RESEARCH
    According to the American sociologist Earl Robert
    Babbie, “Research is a systematic inquiry to
    describe, explain, predict, and control the observed
    phenomenon. Research involves inductive and
    deductive methods.”
    CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH
     A systematic approach must be followed for accurate data. Rules and procedures are an integral part
    of the process that set the objective. Researchers need to practice ethics and a code of conduct while
    making observations or drawing conclusions.

     Research is based on logical reasoning and involves both inductive and deductive methods.

     Research creates a path for generating new questions. Existing data helps create more opportunities
    for research.

     Research is analytical in nature. It makes use of all the available data so that there is no ambiguity in
    inference.

     Accuracy is one of the most important aspects of research. The information that is obtained should be
    accurate and true to its nature.

    PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY RESEARCHERS
    1. Lack of scientific training in methodology of research:
    The scenario in most cases is like a blind leading the blind. Most of the people who hold the position of
    research guides are themselves not thorough with the various methodologies. They lead the
    researcher/students to copy methodology of similar studies.

    2. Copying of data:
    Some researchers (as they call themselves), merely copy other international studies or studies which
    have been done by researchers/students of the other universities. This is a crime and should not be
    promoted. A researchers can re-evaluate others study by considering and overcoming the limitations of
    previous study, but at no cost should be copied or repeated. One should learn to respect others hard
    work.

    3. Lack of availability or access to literature needed:


    This is a major problem faced during the literature review. The lack of availability of access to internet.
    Searching books and newspaper articles from conventional libraries consumes a lot of time and effort.

    4. Publishing may be expensive:


    Research study once it is completed, the further step will be the publishing of the same. Printing and
    binding may turn to be expensive. Also, it will be very expensive the paper has to be published in any
    international journals or conferences. These expenses may not be affordable by the student
    researchers.
    5. Lack of availability of sponsors:
    This may be due to lot of reasons.

    a) Hesitation to contact sponsors


    b) Not able to convince the sponsors
    c) Lack of confidence of sponsors over the researcher
