RESEARCH PLANNING AND INTERPRETATION

John G. Seeley
Research may be defined as a critical and exhaustive investigation or experimentation having as its aim the revision of accepted conclusions in light of newly discovered facts.

Or we may shorten it to say that research is the acquiring of facts based on carefully conducted experiments and proper interpretation of research data. University, college, experiment station, and industry researchers may conduct studies at various levels of sophistication with a proper balance between the so-called "applied" and "basic" research.

An experimental outline, and some examples of interpretation are presented.
