CHARACTERISTICS AND CRITERIA OF GOOD
              RESEARCH
   What is Research ?

   Research Projects.

   Characteristics of Good Research.

   Criteria For a Good Research.

   Process of Making an Effective Research.
Research is:

 “…the systematic process of
 collecting and analyzing information
 (data) in order to increase our
 understanding of the phenomenon
 about which we are concerned or
 interested.”
1.   Originates with a question or problem.
2.   Requires clear articulation of a goal.
3.   Follows a specific plan or procedure.
4.   Often divides main problem into sub problems.
5.   Guided by specific problem, question, or hypothesis.
6.   Accepts certain critical assumptions.
7.   Requires collection and interpretation of data.
8.   Cyclical (helical) in nature.
   Research begins with a problem.

   Identifying this problem can actually be the hardest
    part of research.
   In general, good research projects should:
     ◦ Address an important question.
     ◦ Advance knowledge.
   Good research requires:
    ◦ The scope and limitations of the work to be clearly defined.
    ◦ The process to be clearly explained so that it can be
      reproduced and verified by other researchers.
    ◦ A thoroughly planned design that is as objective as possible.
   Good research requires:
    ◦ Highly ethical standards be applied.
    ◦ All limitations be documented.
    ◦ Data be adequately analyzed and explained.
    ◦ All findings be presented unambiguously and all
      conclusions be justified by sufficient evidence.
   Research is an extremely cyclic process.
   This isn’t a weakness of the process but is part of the
    built-in error correction machinery.
   Because of the cyclic nature of research, it can be
    difficult to determine where to start and when to
    stop.
 Raising a Question.
 Suggest Hypothesis.
 Literature Review.
 Literature Evaluation.
 Acquire Data.
 Data Analysis.
 Data Interpretation.
 Hypothesis Support.
   A question occurs to or is posed to the researcher for
    which that researcher has no answer.
   The question needs to be converted to an
    appropriate problem statement like that
    documented in a research proposal.
   The researcher generates intermediate hypotheses
    to describe a solution to the problem.
    ◦ This is at best a temporary solution since there is as yet no
      evidence to support either the acceptance or rejection of
      these hypothesis.
The available literature is reviewed to determine if
there is already a solution to the problem.
◦ Existing solutions do not always explain new observations.
◦ The existing solution might require some revision or even
  be discarded.
   It’s possible that the literature review has yielded a
    solution to the proposed problem.

   On the other hand, if the literature review turns up
    nothing, then additional research activities are
    justified.
   The researcher now begins to gather data relating to
    the research problem.

   The means of data acquisition will often change
    based on the type of the research problem.
   The data that were gathered in the previous step are
    analyzed as a first step in ascertaining their meaning.
   As before, the analysis of the data does not
    constitute research.
   The researcher interprets the newly analyzed data
    and suggests a conclusion.
    ◦ This can be difficult.
    ◦ Keep in mind that data analysis that suggests a correlation
      between two variables can’t automatically be interpreted as
      suggesting causality between those variables.
   The data will either support the hypotheses or they
    won’t.
    ◦ This may lead the researcher to cycle back to an earlier step
      in the process and begin again with a new hypothesis.
    ◦ This is one of the self-correcting mechanisms associated
      with the scientific method.
Thank You…

Characteristics and criteria of good research

  • 1. CHARACTERISTICS AND CRITERIA OF GOOD RESEARCH
  • 2. What is Research ?  Research Projects.  Characteristics of Good Research.  Criteria For a Good Research.  Process of Making an Effective Research.
  • 3. Research is: “…the systematic process of collecting and analyzing information (data) in order to increase our understanding of the phenomenon about which we are concerned or interested.”
  • 4. 1. Originates with a question or problem. 2. Requires clear articulation of a goal. 3. Follows a specific plan or procedure. 4. Often divides main problem into sub problems. 5. Guided by specific problem, question, or hypothesis. 6. Accepts certain critical assumptions. 7. Requires collection and interpretation of data. 8. Cyclical (helical) in nature.
  • 5. Research begins with a problem.  Identifying this problem can actually be the hardest part of research.  In general, good research projects should: ◦ Address an important question. ◦ Advance knowledge.
  • 6. Good research requires: ◦ The scope and limitations of the work to be clearly defined. ◦ The process to be clearly explained so that it can be reproduced and verified by other researchers. ◦ A thoroughly planned design that is as objective as possible.
  • 7. Good research requires: ◦ Highly ethical standards be applied. ◦ All limitations be documented. ◦ Data be adequately analyzed and explained. ◦ All findings be presented unambiguously and all conclusions be justified by sufficient evidence.
  • 8. Research is an extremely cyclic process.  This isn’t a weakness of the process but is part of the built-in error correction machinery.  Because of the cyclic nature of research, it can be difficult to determine where to start and when to stop.
  • 9.  Raising a Question.  Suggest Hypothesis.  Literature Review.  Literature Evaluation.  Acquire Data.  Data Analysis.  Data Interpretation.  Hypothesis Support.
  • 10. A question occurs to or is posed to the researcher for which that researcher has no answer.  The question needs to be converted to an appropriate problem statement like that documented in a research proposal.
  • 11. The researcher generates intermediate hypotheses to describe a solution to the problem. ◦ This is at best a temporary solution since there is as yet no evidence to support either the acceptance or rejection of these hypothesis.
  • 12. The available literature is reviewed to determine if there is already a solution to the problem. ◦ Existing solutions do not always explain new observations. ◦ The existing solution might require some revision or even be discarded.
  • 13. It’s possible that the literature review has yielded a solution to the proposed problem.  On the other hand, if the literature review turns up nothing, then additional research activities are justified.
  • 14. The researcher now begins to gather data relating to the research problem.  The means of data acquisition will often change based on the type of the research problem.
  • 15. The data that were gathered in the previous step are analyzed as a first step in ascertaining their meaning.  As before, the analysis of the data does not constitute research.
  • 16. The researcher interprets the newly analyzed data and suggests a conclusion. ◦ This can be difficult. ◦ Keep in mind that data analysis that suggests a correlation between two variables can’t automatically be interpreted as suggesting causality between those variables.
  • 17. The data will either support the hypotheses or they won’t. ◦ This may lead the researcher to cycle back to an earlier step in the process and begin again with a new hypothesis. ◦ This is one of the self-correcting mechanisms associated with the scientific method.
