According to Woody (cited in Kothari, 1990)
“Research is a carefully inquiry or examination in seeking facts or principles; a diligent investigation to ascertain something; and this definition makes clear the fact that research is not merely a search for truth, but a prolonged, intensive, purposeful search. It constitutes a method for the discovery of truth which is really a method of critical thinking; it comprises defining and redefining problems; formulating hypotheses or suggested solutions; collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making decisions and reaching conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypotheses”.
