      Chapter 1 - Overview Of Research

      This chapter presents a brief overview and the fundamentals of research.

      What is Research?

      Research in general refers to a search for knowledge. Research may be Applied or Basic. The purpose of applied (action) research is to solve an immediate, practical problem, while the basic (Pure) research doesn't necessarily provide results of immediate, practical use.

      Let's look at some definition of research from credible sources.

      Merriam-Webster.

      Research is a careful study that is done to find and report new knowledge about something. It is the activity of getting information about a subject.

      OECD (2002) Frascati Manual.

      Research comprises "creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications.

      Martyn Shuttleworth.

      In the broadest sense of the word, the definition of research includes any gathering of data, information and facts for the advancement of knowledge.

      Creswell.

      Research is a process of steps used to collect and analyze information to increase our understanding of a topic or issue. It consists of three steps: Pose a question, collect data to answer the question, and present an answer to the question.

      Based from the above mentioned definitions, when someone asks you to research on a certain topic, and then you search for answers, and found the answers on the web, books, or other literatures, what you have done is not research, instead, what you have done is called literature review.

      Looking at the research definitions above, a research is an activity conducted in order to contribute into the existing body or stock of knowledge. For an instance, you need to determine which among the two brands of cars is better. When, you use Google or other sources to look for answers, and you found the answer that Brand A is better than Brand B, the
