Meaning of Research
Assistant Prof. Arun Gopi
Meaning of Research
• Research in common parlance refers to a
search for knowledge.
• Once can also define research as a scientific
and systematic search for pertinent
information on a specific topic.
• In fact, research is an art of scientific
investigation.
• Redman and Mory define research as a
“systematized effort to gain new knowledge.”
• According to Clifford Woody research
comprises defining and redefining problems,
formulating hypothesis or suggested
solutions; collecting, organizing and evaluating
data; making deductions and reaching
conclusions; and at last carefully testing the
conclusions to determine whether they fit the
formulating hypothesis.
• Research is, thus, an original contribution to the
existing stock of knowledge making for its
advancement. It is the pursuit of truth with the
help of study, observation, comparison and
experiment.
• In short, the search for knowledge through
objective and systematic method of finding
solution to a problem is research.
• The systematic approach concerning
generalization and the formulation of a theory is
also research.
• As such the term ‘research’ refers to the
systematic method consisting of enunciating
the problem, formulating a hypothesis,
collecting the facts or data, analyzing the facts
and reaching certain conclusions either in the
form of solutions(s) towards the concerned
problem or in certain generalizations for some
theoretical formulation.
