Research Process

Abstract

Research is a systematic process of knowing the unknown. A research process is a stepwise delineation of different activities to accomplish the objective of a researcher in a logical framework. It consists of a series of actions and/or steps for effective conduction of research. The main steps of a research process are given below. It may clearly be understood that the steps noted below are neither exhaustive nor mutually exclusive. These steps are not necessarily to be followed in the order these have been noted below. Depending upon the nature and objective of the process, more steps may come into the picture or some of the steps may not appear at all.
