Research Process

Research is a problem-solving tool. Scientific research involves a systematic process that focuses on the purpose and collecting any type of information for analysis so that the researcher can come to a conclusion.

Steps: 

These are as following;        

1. Identification of Problem :

 In this, we will define and formulate the problem e.g what are the causes of diabetes? Here we have defined our problem. Next, we will do work on it to solve this problem by following these steps.

2.Review the Literature:

The second step is to review the literature related to the research problem after defining the problem. It provides basic knowledge about the problem. The review of literature also educates the researcher about what studies have been conducted in the past, how these studies were conducted, and the conclusions in the problem area.

3. Research designing:

In this step, we will deal with all the protocols and methods such as techniques and statistical tools. In this, we will plan our way of representation of research proposal that may b tables or graphs e.t.c

4. Experimentation

In this step will perform experiments according to our problem by using the appropriate techniques e.g to solve the given problem what are the causes of diabetes? We will perform field experiments on the population of 1000. In this, we will take the blood test and detect the diseased persons. After collecting the blood we will examine it in detail and find out the causes of this disease.

5. Data analysis:

The researcher finally has data to analyze so that the research question can be answered. In the instrumentation plan, the researcher specified how the data will be analyzed. The researcher now analyzes the data according to the plan. After collecting the data we will apply the data analysis and then we will apply the statistical tools.

6. Research Presentation:

In the last step, we will present the solution to our problem its result and conclusion in different ways such as research paper, research report, and thesis, etc.
