Research in general refers to a search for knowledge. Research may be Applied or Basic. The purpose of applied (action) research is to solve an immediate, practical problem, while the basic (Pure) research doesn't necessarily provide results of immediate, practical use.

The prime objectives of research are:
1. to discover new facts;
2. to verify and test important facts;
3. to analyze an event or process or phenomenon to identify the cause and effect relationship;
4. to develop new scientific tools, concepts and theories to solve and understand scientific and nonscientific problems;
5. to find solutions to scientific, nonscientific and social problems; and
6. to overcome or solve the problems occurring in our daily life.
