Document Summary

Research is about finding solutions to problems or discovering new knowledge in a logica, orderly, sustematic fashion. The primary method by which a profession advances its knowledge base is the process of research. A profession is only as strong as the research that it produces. A profession must produce new knowledge if it is to remain viable. Areas of study are called sciences becasue of the method of study, not the content (astrology vs astronomy, chemistry vs alchemy) The techniques used to get at knowledge that are reliable, truthful, and factual are "science" "nulius in verba" - on the word of no one, take nobodys word for it.
