Are you kidding? Any info is worthless unless it has the research behind it, proving it is true. If you or a scientist or whoever hasn't validly researched, what proof do you have that it's true?

Human experience is the best research.

The obvious first response is to that you are seeking an answer to a question. The question can be as simple as “Who killed Abraham Lincoln?” The search for an answer would be very simple. Or, you could get a bit more technical and ask “What does it take to start a saltwater aquarium?” Now, with that question, you research gets more involved. It takes on more meaning and you must expend more energy in finding your answer.

What if you’re not looking for a specific answer, but you are making an evaluation? You may want to determine if all cars equipped with air bags are safer than cars without air bags. Your research would entail safety studies, traffic accident reports, car manufacturer studies, and so much more.

The final purpose you may want to do research for is to establish a principle. For example, my purpose may be that “I will tell you how to become a successful technical writing consultant.” Now, in order to do so, I would have to study all the techniques of those writers who were successful, and those who were not and compile a list of techniques that worked in specific situations. Whew! What a lot of work! :)

The role of research, huh?

To learn all you can about a particular subject;
To study the effects a drug might have on a virus;
To be well-informed;

To be well-educated.
