Describe the characteristics of research in brief
Explanation:
Characteristics of Research:
- Research should be systematic:
One of the characteristics of research is that it should be systematic, it has to follow certain rules and guidelines. Research cannot be done without any specific preparation or like a college/school project but it should have to follow certain steps and gather some viable and backed sources which can be considered as legitimate.
- it should resonate with a specific problem or question:
Research is always done with one specific problem or question on its centre point. Research is done to solve a certain problem or to address some problem. It should be clear and concise that what problem needs to be addressed.
- it should be logical
Research methods and purpose should be logical in every way. When you start to research it should have a logical base and you need to have a logical aspect for that.
Research should be valid and verifiable:
When you start and work on the research you need data and information whose source be reliable. When you conclude the research it must have data and information which valid and verifiable otherwise it does not count. Source of data and information must have a genuine base otherwise all that effort and question/problem you tried to solve would be in vain. Genuinity of data and information is essential to character of research.
