 Any creative systematic activity undertaken in order to increase the

stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society,

and the use of this knowledge to devise new applications.

 Research is a process of steps used to collect and analyze information to

increase our understanding of a topic or issue.

 The systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in

order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.

Research
Following are some steps which are followed in research problem
formation

 1. Specify the research objectives

 2. Review the environment or context of the research problem
 3. Explore the nature of the problem
 4. Define the variable relationships
 5. The consequences of alternative courses of action

Research Problem
 Encompass the personal, and corporate standards of behavior expected by professionals. Typically these
include
 Honesty
 Integrity
 Transparency
 Accountability
 Confidentiality
 Objectivity
 Respect
 Obedience to the law
 Loyalty

Professional Ethics
 These are some importance of ethics for the conduct of research
 Honesty
 Objectivity
 Integrity
 Openness
 Confidentiality
 Responsible Publication
 Responsible Mentoring
 Social Responsibility

Research Ethics
Researchers use a variety of methods to obtain information, such as
through research journals, the Internet and from interviewing people.
Researchers may seek out secondary information, information acquired
through other studies and from other researchers, or they use methods to
obtain primary resources such as questionnaires and statistical data.

 The Internet
 Libraries
 Questionnaires and Surveys
 Statistics and Data Analysis

Journals published in control domain

 A citation is a reference to the source of information used in your
research. Any time you directly quote, paraphrase or summarize
the essential elements of someone else's idea in your work, an in-
text citation should follow. An in-text citation is a brief notation
within the text of your paper or presentation which refers the
reader to a fuller notation, or end-of-paper citation, that provides
all necessary details about that source of information.
Full citations should be listed in order according to the citation style
you are using:
 In MLA style, this list is called a Works Cited page.
 In APA style, it is called a References page.
 In CSE style, it is called a Cited References page.
Citation
 A citation index is a kind of bibliographic index, an index
of citations between publications, allowing the user to easily establish
which later documents cite which earlier documents.
 In other words, it is a technique that allows us to trace the use of an idea
(an earlier document) forward to others who have used ("cited") it. The
evidence that we take as indicating this "relationship" between earlier
research and subsequent research are the references or footnotes or
endnotes (citations) in the more recent work.
