What is Research?

According to Edison State College Library (2012), "Research is the investigation of a particular topic using a variety of reliable, scholarly resources." 
As stated by IFAS CALS (2008) There are three main goals of research;


  • Allow you to have confidence that the conclusions you reach are justified
  • Let you extend your conclusions beyond the actual people involved in your study -- to other groups, places, and settings
  • Permit you to provide the most thorough possible explanation or understanding of the phenomena that you explore in your study
