INTRODUCTION
Research helps in gaining new high degree of knowledge to carry out particular research
study. Numeracy and ICT skills in the research are crucial because it helps in better comparison
of the data and helps in strategic decision making. This study will demonstrate nature of research
and principles for conducting good research. Furthermore, this study also demonstrates proper
use of ICT techniques and numerical techniques to analyse and interpret the data.
ESSAY
Nature of research and principles for conducting good research
Research is detailed and careful study into particular issue, concern and topic using
relevant methods. It refers to the systematic and logical search for useful & new information on
specific subject, in ant particular area, researcher is conducted in accordance with set of
concepts, procedures and rules, which is well accepted by researcher working in that field in
order to collect some essential data which related to research topic. Professional undertaken
research in creative manner to increase stock of knowledge rather than before. It is classified into
two categories, basic or fundamental and applied research.
Nature of research-
It is something that individual undertaken in order to find out things in systematic way,
systematic, objectivity, definiteness, predictability and dynamicity is the nature of research
(Jiang and Kuo, 2018). It is basically systematic inquiry seeking facts through aims and
objectives verifiable approaches to discover relations among them as well as to deduct from them
broad laws or principles. It is defined as honest exhaustive, intelligent findings for facts and its
meaning for implicants with reference to provide issues. It is totally based on some logical
reasons not just beliefs, research must aim at explaining, analysing, describing and criticizing.
Also, there are number of things to be found out, such as appropriate answer to research
question. It also defined as scientific investigation of phenomena, that includes presentation,
interpretation, collection and analysis of data that link conjecture with reality. Research is strives
to be objective, it is based on empirical evidence and observational experience, characterized by
unhurried & patient activity. Investigation demands correct reservations, descriptions and
observations that helps further research process. Data relevant to chosen topic of research are
gathered systematically, it interpreted effectively and there is clear reason to find things out.

Research is replicable, in which procedure is being recorded so that investigation can be repeated
by others. It is reductive in nature, in which common connection will establish. It refers to
intellectual activity conducted by professionals with good skills, knowledge and abilities.
Systematic methods is followed for appropriate data, process are integral part of activity
that set objectives, investigator practice code as well as ethics of conduct while drawing
conclusions and making observation. Research is based on logical reasoning, includes deductive
and inductive methods. Knowledge or information that is derived is in actual time from real
observation in natural settings. Research is analytical in nature, it makes use of accessible
knowledge so that there is no obscurity in inference (Sivarajah and et.al., 2017). In depth
analysis of all info gathered in enquiry so that there are no anomalies connected with it. It creates
right path for generating new research questions, current data supports to develop more chances
for making effective research. In addition to this, accuracy is very essential aspect of research,
data that is obtained by investigation will be accurate to its nature. Research is empirical in
nature, based on experimentation on concepts. It is originates with questions, requires clear
articulation of aim, usually distinguished principles issues into more systematic manner. It
guided by particular research hypothesis and question. Furthermore, research employs
quantitative and qualitative methods, in order to transformed collected data into numerical as
well as non-numerical measures, that are treated effectively.
Research is generalize in nature, it extent to which investigation findings will be applied
to number population, when researcher conduct inquiry they chose target market and from this
people they take small sample to do investigation.
Along with this, controlled in actual life experience there are many elements that affect
final results. A individual activity is often results of many factors. When related action is tested
in inquiry, due to wider nature of factors that impact that activity. Controlled variables will be
managed rigorously.
Principles for conducting good research-
Number of principles available in real world, that must be undertaken by researcher into
account while conducting good research. Investigation should not harm participants, where there
possibility that individuals put in situation of discomfort, there will be effective justifications for
this (Hibbs, 2018). Principle one refer to the action taken by researcher to minimize risk of
