Applied vs basic research - Research Methodology - Manu Melwin Joy
When discussing research methodology, it is important to distinguish between applied and basic research. Applied research examines a specific set of circumstances, and its ultimate goal is relating the results to a particular situation. That is, applied research uses the data directly for real world application.
Research Methods
There are three main types of research: basic research, epidemiological research, and clinical research. The basic steps of research involve identifying the problem, planning the study design, implementing the plan by collecting and analyzing data, interpreting results, and reporting findings. Key aspects of the research process include formulating hypotheses, selecting appropriate study variables and objectives, choosing a study design, collecting and processing data, analyzing results, and writing proposals.

Some key points about basic research include:
- It increases fundamental knowledge and understanding without direct commercial objectives.
- Findings may not be immediately useful but often lay the groundwork for applied research and new technologies.
- It is primarily conducted by universities and seeks to explain phenomena rather than solve practical problems.
- The goal is explanatory research to generate new ideas and theories about how the world works.
