"Original Research" Redirects Here. For The Wikipedia Prohibition Against User-Generated, Unpublished Research, See

Original research produces new knowledge rather than summarizing existing knowledge. It involves direct or indirect observation in experiments or field work, documenting methodology, results, and conclusions. In analytical work, there are new mathematical results or approaches to existing problems. The degree of originality is a major criteria for publishing in academic journals, and graduate students are often required to conduct original research for dissertations. Scientific research systematically gathers data through curiosity and provides scientific theories, information, and practical applications while being funded through various public and private sources.

Forms of research[edit]

"Original research" redirects here. For the Wikipedia prohibition against user-
generated, unpublished research, see Wikipedia:No original research.
Original research, also called primary research, is research that is not
exclusively based on a summary, review, or synthesis of earlier publications on
the subject of research. This material is of a primary-source character. The
purpose of the original research is to produce new knowledge, rather than to
present the existing knowledge in a new form (e.g., summarized or classified).[7]
[8]

Original research can take a number of forms, depending on the discipline it


pertains to. In experimental work, it typically involves direct or indirect
observation of the researched subject(s), e.g., in the laboratory or in the field,
documents the methodology, results, and conclusions of an experiment or set of
experiments, or offers a novel interpretation of previous results.
In analytical work, there are typically some new (for example) mathematical
results produced, or a new way of approaching an existing problem. In some
subjects which do not typically carry out experimentation or analysis of this
kind, the originality is in the particular way existing understanding is changed
or re-interpreted based on the outcome of the work of the researcher.[9]
The degree of originality of the research is among major criteria for articles to
be published in academic journals and usually established by means of peer
review.[10] Graduate students are commonly required to perform original
research as part of a dissertation.[11]
Scientific research is a systematic way of gathering data and
harnessing curiosity. This research provides scientific information and theories
for the explanation of the nature and the properties of the world. It makes
practical applications possible. Scientific research is funded by public
authorities, by charitable organizations and by private groups, including many
companies. Scientific research can be subdivided into different classifications
according to their academic and application disciplines. Scientific research is a
widely used criterion for judging the standing of an academic institution, but
some argue that such is an inaccurate assessment of the institution, because the
quality of research does not tell about the quality of teaching (these do not
necessarily correlate).[12]
