RESEARCH (O. Fr. recerche, from recercher, re- and cercer, mod. chercher, to search; Late Lat. circare, to go round in a circle, to explore)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 182 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
RESEARCH (O. Fr. recerche, from recercher, re- and cercer, mod. chercher, to search; Late Lat. circare, to go round in a circle, to explore) , the act of searching into a matter closely and carefully, inquiry directed to the discovery of truth, and in particular the trained scientific investigation of the principles and facts of any subject, based on
original
  and first-hand study of authorities or experiment. Investigations of every
kind
  which have been based on
original
  sources of knowledge may be styled " research," and it may be said that without " research " no authoritative works have been written, no scientific discoveries or inventions made, no theories of any value propounded; but the word also has a somewhat restricted
meaning attached to it in current usage. It is applied more particularly to the investigations of those who devote them-selves to the study of pure as opposed to applied science, to the investigation of causes rather than to
practical
  experiment; thus while every surgeon or physician who treats an individual
case
  of cancer may add to our sum of knowledge of the disease, the
body
  of trained investigators which is endowed by the Cancer Research Fund are working on different lines. Again, the
practical
  engineers who are building aeroplanes, and those who are making practical tests by actual flight in those machines, cannot be called " researchers "; that
term
  should be con-fined to the members, for example, of the scientific committee appointed by the British Government in 1909 to make investigations regarding aerial construction and navigation. Further, the
term
  is particularly used of a course of
post
 -
graduate
  study at a university, for which many
universities
  have provided
special
  Research Studentships or Fellowships. These act as endowments for a specific period, and are conditional on the holder devoting his time to the investigation at first hand of some specified subject.
