This document provides an overview of quantitative research. It discusses the reasons for conducting research such as solving problems and acquiring knowledge. Research is defined as a systematic process of investigating a topic to discover facts and prove conclusions. Key characteristics of good research include accuracy, objectiveness, timeliness, relevance, clarity, and being systematic, empirical, and replicable. Research can be pure or applied, descriptive, correlational, explanatory, exploratory, or action-oriented. It also distinguishes between qualitative research using words and quantitative research using numerical data. The overall purpose of research is to increase knowledge and make positive changes.
