The document outlines the steps involved in conducting systematic research, including problem identification, data collection, and drawing conclusions. It distinguishes between high-quality and low-quality research, emphasizing replicability and logical foundations for the former, while highlighting issues like plagiarism and data falsification for the latter. Additionally, it discusses specific characteristics of engineering research and considerations for literature reviews.

Episode 10 : steps in conducting
the general flow of systematic
research

2. 1. LIST OUT IN ORDER THE STEPS IN CONDUCTING THE
GENERAL FLOW OF SYSTEMATIC RESEARCH.
• Problem Identification
• Reviewing Information
• Data Collection
• Analysis
• Drawing Conclusions

3. 2. GIVE 3 EXAMPLES IN EACH CASE OF HIGH
QUALITY RESEARCH AND BAD QUALITY RESEARCH
High quality research:
• is based on the previous work.
• can be replicated (duplicated).
• can generalized to other settings.
• is based on some logical rationale and tied to a theory.
• is doable
• Generates new questions or is cyclic in nature.
• is incremental.
• is an apolitical activity that should be undertaken purely for the betterment of living beings

4. • Bad quality research
• The opposites of what have been discussed.
• Looking for something when it simply is not to be found.
• Plagiarizing other people’s work.
• Falsifying data to prove a point.
• Misrepresenting information and misleading participants.

5. 2. GIVE EXAMPLES IN EACH CASE OF BASIC RESEARCH AND APPLIED
RESEARCH

6. 4. GIVE 4 CHARACTERISTICS OF ENGINEERING RESEARCH
• Engineering research are more formulative in nature.
• A lot is based on mathematics.
• Experiments are conducted on machines, rather than humans or animals.
• Data to be collected differ significantly.
• Hypotheses arrived at are largely based on mathematical proofs, rather than
just an educated guess
• Experiments can be done within a shorter period of time.
• Outputs in engineering research are more tangible
• Use methods such as software, a new machine or component, or even
mathematical equations, etc.
• Do not differ much in different regions of the world.

7. 5. GIVE 4 POINTS THAT YOU WILL TAKE IN TO ACCOUNT IN A LITERATURE DO THEY PRESENT
ONE OR DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS?
• Is there an aspect of the field that is missing?
• How well do they present the material and do they portray it according to an
appropriate theory?
• Do they reveal a trend in the field?
• Is there a debate / hot argument with regard to any point
