The first step in the process is to identify the problem or formulate a research questions.
identifying the problem
deciding the method of research
writing a report
There are plenty of research methods, but deciding which one is the best for each case depends on the researcher's objectives and hypothesis planted in the previous step.
deciding the method of research
collecting the data
writing a report
Research objectives are the goal intended for the research to take place, they must be implicit at the beginning of the research and related to the problem.
formulating objectives and hypothesis
collecting the data
writing a report
Arranging and organizing the data collected and making the necessary calculations. A correct translations/ interpretation of the data is primordial for everyone to understand not only the researcher.
collecting the data
analyzing and interpreting the data
writing a report
This will be done through a report, or a thesis, which includes all the information related to the research.
