INTRODUCTION
Research is referred to as a systematic phenomenon which is very useful in finding
relevant answers to the research questions. Information communication technology skills are
considered to be very useful in managing, analysing and appropriately transmitting large amount
of data in order to save time and make outcomes more productive. This report will highlight on
demonstrating the nature and principles of carrying out research. This study will focus on
appropriately using effective ICT while carrying out research. This study will also determine
relevant numerical techniques in order to analyse data.
MAIN BODY
Research is referred to as the systematic investigation of the particular study in order to
effectively bridge the gaps on the current knowledge on the specific research topic. This in turn
helps in reaching new conclusion by effectively resolving various research problems (Sikora,
Evans and Kelley, 2019). Research is referred to as a systematic phenomenon which is very
useful in finding relevant answers to the research questions. Research helps in making
contribution to the generalized phenomenon by gaining additional knowledge by effectively
proving existing theories. Information provided while carrying out the research must be accurate
and reliable.
Nature of research
Research is considered to be very useful in effectively identifying the key attributes and
characteristics of the specific study. This can be done through qualitative research using group
discussions, manuals, journals, etc. In order to appropriately analyse the key attributes of the
study, the research can be effectively carried out using quantitative research (Smith and et.al.,
2019). This in turn can be done through statistical analysis where all the questions in the
structured questionnaire can be easily answered. Empirical research is based on specific
experimentation and observations in order to attain desired goals and objectives. The main
nature of the research is that, it must be carried out in a sequential and orderly manner.
Descriptive research is considered to be very useful in in- depth analysis of the particular
research topic. Research is considered to be a systematic enquiry where it is mainly concerned
with resolving several other problem associated with the particular research study (Adam and
Tatnall, 2017). The research carried out must be coherent. This in turn states that, there must be
