👉 Research is an systematic investigation into a particular topic or question, often involving empirical methods to gather and analyze data. It aims to generate new knowledge, test hypotheses, or explore phenomena in a scientific, academic, or practical context. Researchers design studies, collect data through experiments, surveys, observations, or literature reviews, and then interpret the findings to contribute to existing body of knowledge, solve problems, or inform decision-making. The goal is to produce reliable, valid results that can advance understanding in a field, address real-world issues, or guide future research.
