  • Steps of the Scientific Method - The Stages of Scientific Research: The starting point of most new research is to formulate a general question about an area of research and begin the process of defining it. This initial question can be very broad, as the later research, observation and narrowing down will hone it into a testable hypothesis.
  • Aims of Research: The ultimate aims of research are to generate measurable and testable data, gradually adding to the accumulation of human knowledge. Ancient philosophers believed that all answers could be achieved through deduction and reasoning, rather than measurement. Science now uses established research methods and standard protocols to test theories thoroughly.
  • Falsifiability - Karl Popper's Basic Scientific Principle: Popper saw falsifiability as a black and white definition, that if a theory is falsifiable, it is scientific, and if not, then it is unscientific. Whilst most ?pure? sciences do adhere to this strict definition, pseudo-science s may fall somewhere between the two extremes.
  • Testability - How to Create a Scientific Theory or Hypothesis: Testability, even more than falsifiability , is probably the most fundamental aspect of science, separating it from theology, maths and philosophy. As an aside, this places archaeology and history closer to science than maths!
  • Definition of Research: The strict definition of scientific research is performing a methodical study in order to prove a hypothesis or answer a specific question. Finding a definitive answer is the central goal of any experimental process.
  • Scientific Method: Guideline to scientific method
  • Steps of the Scientific Method
  • What is Research?: The methodology behind any research and be aware of the correct protocols. Science has developed these guidelines over many years as the benchmark for measuring the validity of the results obtained.
