How do we know if a piece of research work is good or not?

Sunday, July 20, 2008
From my own readings from different sources, these are the things that may determine whether a piece of research work is good or not:

· If it is unique – a research should not just like be the previous studies
· If research is not only for self- enlightenment but would also benefit others.
· Background of the study is properly justified
· Would greatly add to the body of knowledge
· Has valid and reliable data collection
· Doesn’t prove its findings to be final but open for refutation.
· Research procedure should be sufficiently detailed to allow others to repeat the research for further advancements
· Describes flaws, if there is any, and delivers the true findings as it really is
· Greater confidence in research is warranted if the researcher is an experienced or has background in good research.

this post serves as a good guide for research enthusiasts who want their research to be as interesting as possible. also, the title of the research should directly attract readers the first time they read the research..

I agree partly but it is so simple.

It must be unique as what you've said in the first part of your statement is the most important aspect to know if the research is good or not simply because it will make a very important difference in our point of view.
