2 Objectives of Research • To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights into it
• To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group
• To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated with something else
• To test a hypothesis of a causal relationship between variables

3 Motivation in Research • Get a research degree for benefits in academic and research carrier
• Take up the challenge in solving the unsolved problems in the theoretical and applied research domain
• Intellectual joy of doing some creative/ new work
• Get noticed in research community
• For the sustainable development of the society
• Search for Excellence

So TRUE for a Good Research 7 Role of Methodology in Research The 'methodology' in a research strategy outlines the steps involved in research process • Systematic Approach to attain goals of the research • Defines stages and interdependency among stages • Provides rationale for selecting appropriate data type and methods • Provides rationale for selecting correct analysis • Image Source: https://bootcamp.uxdesign.cc/how-to-choose-the-proper-research-methodology- Helps to keep researchers on track, making the ies-for-your-project-f9630591c96
