Research Methodology

Research is a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact, research is an art of scientific investigation. Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a technical sense. Research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting, organising and evaluating data, making deductions and reaching conclusions, and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis. This book covers each aspect of research methodology in detail. I am thankful to Dr. Babita Raghuwanshi and Dr. Sonali Rai for their contribution in making it possible.
