Re-search

Lets talk about the very first step to know "Research"

Speaking very basically it is "Search of knowledge" 

• a careful investigation or inquiry specially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge

• A movement from known to unknown

Now scientifically it is 

• a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic

• an art of scientific investigation

• systematized effort to gain new knowledge.

If we combine above both definitions,  "It is an art of investigation done in systemic manner to know something which is unknown." 

 We all are intellectually curious to know the answers about whatever going around us, answers of the question of our area of interests and this curiosity helps us to reach what we want to know?

Like SIR ISSAC NEWTON who  was having curiosity to know that "why an apple fall down" and research of GRAVITATIONAL FORCE took place

So the point is " be curious to know the answer of the questions initiate in your brain"

Before questioning you must have very basic knowledge of that subject and for that you have to gain knowledge 

Remember that only an good questioner can be the best Researcher and for being a good questioner you need to know as more as possible about the topic you are questioning

Suppose If you are asking about any drug's pharmacokinect and even don't know "ADME" (Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion )  than its worthless to ask a question 

So always gain knowledge about the area of interest as much as possible and than question to your self 

Seeking for the answer of question will lead to Research

So as far as I know one must gain knowledge about the area of interest and than be good questioner and than finally go for the answer systematically that is research

In other terms after gaining a sufficient knowledge, though knowledge is never sufficient instead i would say a basic knowledge you would be able to question

Question to your self

Question to surroundings

Question to your teacher 

Question about each and everything you don't know

This Question in scientific term is known as a problem 

Like Problems faces by cancer patients after taking drugs as part of its side effect

Problems faced by G6PD deficient people due to lack of genes

and so on

AND AS THE ANSWER OF THIS PROBLEM YOU START WORKING IN SYSTEMIC MANNER AND FIND THE SOLUTION THAT MAY BE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, THAT IS RESEARCH

Remember that though the solution for the problem you have find is negative, it will always useful to you as well as others as you would come to know that the way you have selected to find the answer is not right and this will guide others that this way should not be followed

THOMAS ALVA EDISON FAILED 999 TIMES AND SAID THAT HE HAS SEARCHED 999 WAYS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE FOLLOWED FOR FINDING THE ANSWER HE WAS SEARCHING.

So newer worry about the negative results just start gaining knowledge and questioning and finally be curious to find the answer that is research.
