DESCRIPTION OF TYPES OF RESEARCH

Abstract

Research is a form of knowledge whose content is given by the "creation" resulting from human curiosity, or better said, research activity. Scientific research is based on scientific knowledge and is a continuous search carried out within a complex process, the content of which is given by "scientific creation". The researcher's opinion is actually his answer, written in the form of a narrative, the content of which presents, in a logical and fluent structure, the staged development of the research activity, as well as the conclusions and results obtained as a result. When we discuss about types of research we are actually discussing different approaches that researchers can use to research a problem, a phenomenon or even a process. The methodology used in a research activity is often determined by the type of research being addressed. Therefore, there are different types of research, and each of them is conducted for a specific purpose, scope and type of data.
