Wikipedia

According to “Wikipedia”, research is the creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the wealth of knowledge”. Also It involves the collection, organization, and analysis of information to increase understanding of a topic or issue.What I  have learned from Wikipedia is that Research may be done in different forms. There are some forms of research: Original, Scientific,Research in the Humanities,Artistic, Historical Research and Documentary Research. Moreover, I have learned that there are some methods of conducting research. The first is Exploratory Research, which helps to identify and define a problem or question.Second is Constructive research it tests theories and proposes solutions to a problem or question. The last method is Empirical research which tests the feasibility of a solution using empirical evidence.

However, Wikipedia is strictly forbidden to use in a academic writing
