Study Notes
Definition of Research
- Research is creative work performed systematically to enhance knowledge regarding humans, culture, society, and their applications.
- Fundamental goals include documentation, discovery, interpretation, and research & development (R&D).
- Research methodologies vary across disciplines, including scientific, humanities, economic, and other fields.
Research Methods, Techniques, and Methodology
- Research Method: The approach used in conducting a research project.
- Research Technique: Specific means or tools used for data collection and analysis.
- Research Methodology: The study and analysis of research methods.
Types of Research
- Exploratory Research: Identifies new problems and improves understanding of a concept, often leading to cautious conclusions about undefined problems.
- Constructive Research: Aims to develop solutions to specific persistent issues, commonly applied in computer science, involving validation against predefined criteria.
- Empirical Research: Gains knowledge through observation or experience. It encompasses fieldwork and analysis of cases but allows for only tentative conclusions due to contextual changes over time.
Interpretivist/Qualitative Research Techniques
- Focus on understanding human perceptions; methods may include subjective and biased approaches.
- Research entails in-depth culture analysis but results are not generalizable, affecting reliability.
- Uses methods like self-examination of biases and peer review to strengthen findings.
Computer Science Definitions
- Evolved definitions encompass studying algorithms, managing complexity, and mechanizing abstraction since the late 1930s.
- Combines mathematics, engineering, and empirical studies of phenomena.
Research Principles
- Three Golden Rules:
- Maintain high standards; work at the edge of personal abilities.
- Prioritize scientific soundness when relevance conflicts arise.
- Avoid problems addressable by equally competent parties.
Impact as a Criterion for Success
- Success is gauged by the impact of ideas in the field.
- Key impact dimensions include who is affected, the form and magnitude of the impact, and its significance.
Parameters to Evaluate Research
- Assess runtime, preprocessing time, disk space usage, memory, correctness, accuracy of algorithms, user satisfaction, and usability.
- Emphasizes deep exploration of problems to discover new features and improve outcomes.
