In much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand.

Research is creating new knowledge.

What people actually refer to as research nowadays is really just Googling.

Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.

Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

Scientific research involves going beyond the well-trodden and well-tested ideas and theories that form the core of scientific knowledge. During the time scientists are working things out, some results will be right, and others will be wrong. Over time, the right results will emerge.

All my knowledge comes from research.

Research can be a big clunker. It's difficult to know how you can make the historical light.
