| Summary: |
Although research studies are conducted in many diverse fields of science,
the general goals and defining characteristics of research are typically
the same across disciplines. For example, across all types of science, research
is frequently used for describing a thing or event, discovering the
relationship between phenomena, or making predictions about future
events. In short, research can be used for the purposes of description, explanation,
and prediction, all of which make important and valuable contributions
to the expansion of what we know and how we live our lives. In
addition to sharing similar broad goals, scientific research in virtually all
fields of study shares certain defining characteristics, including testing
hypotheses, careful observation and measurement, systematic evaluation
of data, and drawing valid conclusions.
