INTRODUCTION
DIKW model or DIKW pyramid can be referred as a method wherein roots in knowledge
management in order to explain the ways in which the data to information, knowledge and
wisdom with various actions as well as decisions (Allmann and Blank, 2021). DIKW stands for
data, information, knowledge as well as wisdom. CRAAP model stands for currency, relevance,
authority, accuracy and purpose and the process helps in identifying if a particular source is
credible or not. A research can be defined as a systematic process that involves collecting data
based on the research topic and analyzing the same in order to develop useful interpretations.
There are different research approaches that can be adopted by the researcher such as inductive
as well as deductive approach. Qualitative as well as quantitative are also the different types of
research approaches that the researcher can adopt in order to complete the research in an
effective manner. The respective report explains the CRAAP test as well as DIKW model so that
the readers are able to develop an understanding about the same.
MAIN BODY
Discuss Research
A research can be defined as a study that is conducted in a systematic as well as
structured manner and involves the collection of data, analyzing it as well as making sure that the
interpretations that are obtained are effective as well as useful. A researcher can adopt different
research approaches such as qualitative, quantitative, inductive as well as deductive (Biletska and
et.al., 2021). The researcher can choose the most appropriate research approach based on the
requirement of the study. It also involves different types of data collection methods such as
primary as well as secondary methods such as questionnaire, interview, observation, books,
journals etc. different methods of data collection can help the researcher in gathering effective
information that is authentic as well as reliable. A research can be conducted because of different
purposes such as to identify the customers’ buying behavior etc. Therefore, it can be said that
research is an important aspect that can not only help the reader in developing an understanding
about an underlying concept or any other topic.
Russel Approach

Rusell is an educational procedure of self-development. Self-improvement is best
possible thru society. Rusell is an method that facilitates in collection and evaluation of
qualitative and quantitative information systematically.
A major component of Russell's philosophical work was the development of a distinctive method
of philosophizing, which, though he consistently applied it throughout his career, has been
largely ignored. This lack of understanding of Russell's method has been a main cause of the still
widespread perception that the progress of his philosophy is fragmented and erratic.
Rusell technique help in getting of legitimate and reliable consequences in the direction of
precise location of examine or subject matter (Hänninen, Taipale and Luostari, 2021).
Qualitative method beneath Rusell includes exceptional sorts of methodologies which are
inductive approach, interpretivisim philosophy and lots of greater. These are powerful
methodologies and facilitate investigator n attainment of common dreams and targets about the
subject. Quantitative approach underneath Rusell technique also consists of various form of
methodologies, which can be positivism philosophy, deductive technique etc. These
methodologies facilitate investigator in attainment of particulate goal and goal of the look at in a
hit way.
DIKW Pyramid
The Data, Wisdom, Knowledge, Wisdom (DIKW) Pyramid, also known as the
Understanding Pyramid, Intelligence Hierarchy, and Information Hierarchy, is a common
illustration of the relationships between data, information, knowledge, and intelligence. The
Knowledge Pyramid, like many other ladder models, contains tightly defined construction
blocks: results come first, then intelligence, then expertise, and lastly enlightenment. Each phase
of the pyramid provides credibility to the data by answering questions about it. The higher we
climb the pyramid, the more questions we answer. In the other words, ever more substance and
perspective we add to our data, the more information and discoveries we gain. The relationship
between data, know-how, learning, and statistics is represented by the DIKW pyramid. These are
the first levels in the DIKW pyramid, and they aid in the development of correct problem info
(Peimani and Kamalipour., 2021). This presents a new model group for illustrating ostensibly
practical and structural courtship between records, facts, comprehension, and knowledge.
Generally, any circumstance is characterized in terms of stats, and information is described in
