Research can be defined to be search for knowledge or any systematic investigation to establish facts. The primary purpose for applied research is discovering, interpreting, and the development of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge on a wide variety of scientific matters of our world and the universe. Research can use the scientific method, but need not do so.

Scientific research relies on the application of the scientific method, a harnessing of curiosity. This research provides scientific information and theories for the explanation of the nature and the properties of the world around us. It makes practical applications possible. Scientific research is funded by public authorities, by charitable organisations and by private groups, including many companies. Scientific research can be subdivided into different classifications according to their academic and application disciplines.

Historical research is embodied in the historical method.

The term research is also used to describe an entire collection of information about a particular subject.

What schools are doing research in sterotyping and prejudice?
Q. I am looking into graduate school(late i know) My main interests are stereotype and discrimination. Though i find research on personality specially Right-wing authoritarianism and Social dominance interesting. Are there any graduate school that i may have missed in my search that are doing good research in this area?

A. That's great that you already have some idea of what you would like to study while in graduate school. I am currently getting my Ph.d in experimental cognitive psychology, and it's been great. Looking for a good graduate school program is very different from looking for a good college. In college, it's all about "how well respected" the school is, but in graduate school, the university itself does not really matter much. If you are looking to get a Ph.d (which I expect, because you listed research interests), the faculty advisor (mentor) you work with in graduate school will be FAR more important than *where* you are at. It's all about finding the right faculty advisor to work with, and that is what you should be making your application… [cont.]

Where do I get to research from of a business I want to start on Ebay?
Q. I want to start a business on Ebay, but where do I get the research from? With a brick-and-mortar buisness, I get talk to other buisness owners and interview them. But, How do I research a business I want to start on Ebay. I'm trying to write a business plan for a business I want to start on Ebay. I know how much it's projected gross profits, but how do I figure out how much start-up money I am gonna have to have? How many employees to hire. Anybody got any ideas?

A. You really need the book Rocket to Riches which you can get by going here: It has a zillion ideas and budgets, etc. and what to sell online, etc. Also, an eBay store only costs 14.95 a month. The main thing about eBay is pick a niche' and focus. Build up your positive feedback by buying some products (even cheap ones). You really do not need any employees because with eBay you can automate everything - even your replies. You will need a PayPal premier business account. And it has lots of merchant and auction tools for free. Hope this helps and hasn't been too confusing. A good place for research is actually your local library. They have tons of eBay business books and software.

How does one become a research consultant for Hollywood films?
Q. I'm interested in doing research for films, especially historical pieces, like Braveheart or Shakespeare in Love, but not sure where to go for this information. Can anyone help? Do you know the names of any organizations or major research firms that do this type of work?
Asked by Film Curious - Wed Sep 6 01:01:00 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think for this purpose its not that people go to hollywood but actually Hollywood people go to different experts and ask them to do research for them. I guess if you become story writer or Director than you can do such movies.
