According to the oxford dictionary, Research is defined as the systematic investigation into a subject area or the study of materials in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions. Research is also often said to be an endeavor to discover new or collate old knowledge through scientific study subjected to a rigorous and critical investigation Usually a research is commissioned or carried out where there is a burning question or a problem that needs to be resolved or answered. It could be a question we think we have an answer to already but lack evidence/facts or that the answer is obvious i.e. common sense but which requires rigorous scientific scrutiny to validate our thinking or else our 'knowledge ' remains a guesstimate or an intuition…
Multiferroic Magnetoelectric Nanostructures for Novel Device Application is a published research paper by members of the Materials Research Society. This discourse community’s purpose is to inform engineers, usually electrical engineers, about new electronic materials and their applications. In this article, three Northeastern University and one Pennsylvania State University academics describe the use of magnetoelectric nanostructures in modern technology. The technology industry is quickly…
weapons that meant to cause harm. This type of research is usually backed up by government, the researchers are not clear of personal responsibility. Directly involving themselves in the development and being fully aware of the intended applications leaves the researcher morally obligated to take responsibility for the repercussions. Douglas states that there should be stricter regulations to assist in the development in research to a more stable controlled path to help direct these…
Ethics Review With any research comes risk. Lindell & Perry (2004, p. 1) states “risk can be defined broadly as a condition in which there is a possibility that persons or property could experience adverse consequences”. Many action research (AR) studies encounter minimal exposure to any harmful information or risks to the participants. According to The Belmont Report “even avoiding harm requires learning what is harmful; and in the process of obtaining this information, a person may be exposed…
Research is essentially our strive for knowledge, a concept not difficult to grasp. However, when the research is being performed on other living human beings, it becomes a bit more complicated. It is a fine line between freedom and anarchy, as well as regulations and gridlock. The positive aspects, as well as the frustrations, with both is clear. However, regulations do not appear without causation. For every regulation put into place there has been some individual, or some group of people, who…

From World War II the "linear model of innovation" was adopted, with its emphasis on the supply of scientific knowledge, which states that science leads to technology and this in turn transforms the basic science Commercial applications that seek to satisfy the needs of the market; In other words, basic research leads to "invention" and then to innovation, that is, to the launch of the novelty. Escorsa Pere Castells (2005) believes that this model is not realistic (1) and on the contrary too…

potential experience in the workplace and college itself. This research was done by designing an online survey with an interval measurement, which was completed by 482 undergraduate college students of a large public American university. Through this online survey, researchers concluded partial truths in 5 hypotheses. The consensus of these 5 hypotheses included the relationship between parental involvement, over-parenting; and parental…
The four types of quantitative research are: descriptive, correlational, quasi-experimental and experimental. The key to understanding each is the level or degree of control involved in the study and its component. Groves, Gray & Burns (2015) define control as the imposing of rules to decrease the possibility of error, increasing the probability a study’s findings, which reveal an accurate reflection of reality. Groves, Gray and Burns (2015) went on to discuss the rules known as design, to…
