 Characteristics of
Good Research
Research must be:

Systematic: follows an
orderly and sequential
procedure

Empirical: procedures
and data gathered are
perceived in the same
manner by all observers
 Characteristics of
Good Research
Research must be:
Analytical: critical
analysis of data to avoid
errors in interpretation

Objective and unbiased:

findings and conclusions
are logically based on
empirical data and no
effort is made to alter
the results
 Characteristics of
Good Research
Research must be:
An original work: data are
gathered from primary or
first-hand sources

Based on accurate
investigation, observation
and description: all
conclusions and findings
must be based on actual
evidence
