Research can be defined to be search for knowledge or any systematic investigation to establish facts. The primary purpose for applied research (as opposed to basic research) is discovering, interpreting, and the development of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge on a wide variety of scientific matters of our world and the universe. Research can use the scientific method, but need not do so.

Scientific research relies on the application of the scientific method, a harnessing of curiosity. This research provides scientific information and theories for the explanation of the nature and the properties of the world around us. It makes practical applications possible. Scientific research is funded by public authorities, by charitable organisations and by private groups, including many companies. Scientific research can be subdivided into different classifications according to their academic and application disciplines.

Historical research is embodied in the scientific method.

The term research is also used to describe an entire collection of information about a particular subject.

As such, research and networking based on only men researchers is likely to reproduce some of the existing gender inequalities of research and… [cont.]

A. Historically, the entire field of psychology was based on findings using only white men of moderate to good health. The "fathers" of psych were of that same population -- Freud, Jung, Adler, etc. Women were studied, yes, but not in terms of how their symptoms compared to men, but in how they compared only to other women, whose diagnosis most frequently were prefaced by "hysterical___" and that term colored any and all research that could have ever been of value. Because of the feminist movement and also because of the progress made within the field itself, the pendulum type backlash, particularly in the 80's and 90's, was for the field to concentrate almost exclusively on women. Experiments and studies used female only sample… [cont.]
