DIISR's definition of research
"For the purposes of these specifications, research comprises:
- creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications
- any activity classified as research which is characterised by originality; it should have investigation as a primary objective and should have the potential to produce results that are sufficiently general for humanity's stock of knowledge (theoretical and/or practical) to be recognisably increased. Most higher education research work would qualify as research
- pure basic research, strategic basic research, applied research and experimental development."
Thanks for your tolerance and cooperation.
