Research is evidence of an individual’s ability to conceptualize and carry out research and to communicate the results of that research in a coherent document. The quality research addresses the important problem of manageable scope in the chosen field of study, and makes a meaningful contribution to the profession’s theory or practice. Most commonly, the work builds on previous research findings and involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of new data. Research is not merely the effort of one scholar working in isolation. Research scholars benefit immensely from the input and support of the supervisor, and administrators.
