RESEARCH PROCESS

Research process consists of series of actions or steps necessary to effectively carry out research
and the desired sequencing of these steps.

a) Problem identification/definition
b) Literature review
c) Proposal writing
d) Research design
e) Data collection and organization
f) Presentation, analysis and interpretation
g) Report writing/communication of research findings

a) Problem identification/definition
There are two types of research problems, i.e., those which relate to states of nature and those
which relate to relationships between variables.
At the very beginning the researcher must single out the problem he wants to study, i.e., he must
decide the general area of interest or aspect of a subject-matter that he/she would like to inquire
into. Initially the problem may be stated in a broad general way and then the ambiguities, if any,
relating to the problem be resolved. Then, the feasibility of a particular solution has to be
considered before a working formulation of the problem can be set up.
Essentially two steps are involved in formulating the research problem, i.e., understanding the
problem thoroughly, and rephrasing the same into meaningful terms from an analytical point of
view.

b) Literature review

It is the study of available knowledge in the field and especially in the perspective of problem
stated by the researcher.
It assists in understanding the earlier work done in the similar area and prevents the chances of
doing a repetitive work.

c) Proposal writing

d) Research design

e) Data collection and organization

f) Presentation, analysis and interpretation

g) Report writing/communication of research findings
