Zusammenfassung:Research is a way of thinking and it is becoming an integral part of good professional practices. Research is an important component of each domain from composing new music and studying purchase patterns of customers to designing atomic plants. Research is a systematic process and when applied with innovative thinking and creativity, it provides fruitful outcomes. Once a researcher is acquainted with the process, he /she can apply it to every problem in a daily routine; this helps to develop a new approach to solving problems. A major objective of Chapter 1 is to introduce the novice researcher to basic terminology, to explain motivation behind research, and to explain objectives of research, types of research, and research process. Good research requires certain skill sets in researchers. The selection of a research domain is the most important phase of the research process and guidelines for selection of research problems are discussed in detail. Terms such as hypothesis, research methods, research methodologies, literature survey, ethics, criteria for good research, and writing a research proposal are explained in detail.
