PURE RESEARCH
It is also known as basic of fundamental research. It is not problem oriented but it is undertaken because of curiosity or knowledge. It loads to discovery of a new theory. Ex: Newton s law of gravity.
APPLIED RESEARCH It is problem oriented and action directed .It is carried on to find out the solution to a real life problem. Ex: Research in the field of Technology.

EXPLORATORY RESEARCH It is a preliminary study of an unfamiliar problem about which the researcher has a little or no knowledge. Ex: Doctor s initial investigation, it is ill structured and less focused on predetermined objectives. DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH It is a fact finding information with adequate interpretation , its more specific. It has focus on particular aspects or dimensions of the problem studied.

DIAGNOSTIC STUDY It aims at identifying the causes of a problem and possible solutions for it. It is directed towards discovering not only what is occurring but why it is occurring and what can be done about it. EVALUTION STUDY It is a type of applied research , it is done to check the effectiveness of social or economic programs implemented.

ACTION RESEARCH

It is type of a evaluation study of an action program launched for solving the problem for improving an existing situation.

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH It checks the effect of one variable on a phenomena by keeping other variables constant or in control. It aims to find out whether and in what manner variables are related to each other. Ex: Price and Demand of a product. ANALYTICAL RESEARCH It is also known as statistical method. It aims at testing hypothesis. It is useful for quantitative data. It is used for measuring variables and comparing groups and examining association between factors. Ex: Sales of two companies A and B.

HISTORICAL RESEARCH
It is a study of past records or other information sources with a view to reconstruct a new theory. It may be linked to collection of Secondary data.

FIELD STUDY
It means directly collecting the data from the respondents. It may be linked to collection of Primary data.

CASE STUDY
An empirical inquiry that investigates a phenomenon within its real-life context. It may be a person or a company.
