Topic: Original research


  
  Wikipedia:No original research - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Images that constitute original research in any other way are not allowed, such as a diagram of a hydrogen atom showing extra particles in the nucleus as theorized by the uploader.
The prohibition against original research limits the possibility of an editor presenting his or her own point of view in an article.

 Original research - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original research is research that is not exclusively based on a summary, review or synthesis of earlier publications on the subject of research.
The purpose of the original research is to produce new knowledge, rather than to present the existing knowledge in a new form (e.g., summarized or classified).
The degree of originality of the research is among major criteria for articles to be published in academic journals and usually established by means of peer review.

 About the Low Dose Radiation Research Program - Original Program Plan
Extensive research on the health effects of radiation using standard epidemiological and toxicological approaches has been used for decades to characterize responses of populations and individuals to high radiation doses, and to set exposure standards to protect both the public and the workforce.
Research to decode the genome, to understand structure-function relationships for genes and proteins, and to apply molecular biology to medical problems has resulted in the development of new scientific resources and technologies.
Research is needed to understand and quantify real, not calculated, differences or similarities in DNA damage induced by normal oxidative processes versus low doses or low dose rates of ionizing radiation.

 Designing and Integrating Original Research
The original research component must be a fully-integrated natural extension of the basic paper; it cannot be an "extra" section which is simply appended to what otherwise would have been the paper.
Specifically, the original research would address the research question posed at the beginning of the paper, the explication and analysis of which is then given in the body of the paper.
While a wide variety of possible research methologies could be used, depending on the paper's topic and the resources available to the student, the most commonly-used have been questionnaires, interviews, surveys, and primary sources which have not been used previously for that topic (at least not in the way you will use them).

 Writing Center
Though writers in any discipline may conduct original research, scientists and social scientists in particular are interested in controlled investigation and inquiry.
Their research often consists of direct and indirect observation in the laboratory or in the field.
If you are asked to write a research report based on original research, the tone will be objective and formal, the writing should be concise and direct, and the structure is likely to consist of these standard sections: introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion.

 Original Research
This path introduces forms of research you might do on your own, such as surveys, lab work, and observational studies; briefly discusses some principles for conducting such research; and helps you judge when original research is an appropriate form of proof.
Original research is a good way not only to find out things you can't through published sources but also to give you more detailed and real information than might be found in other work.
Although surveys and observations are probably the least time-consuming forms of original research to use in a paper along with other sources, there are more extensive forms of research you may want to consider as well.

 Summary: Part III
Subsequent to our original publication in 2003, genetic cancer resistance has been propagated into four more strains of mice and shown to work against a wide variety of cancer types.
The SR/CR cancer resistant mouse was originally identified using these aggressive mouse cancers and, therefore, had to be a very effective resistance mechanism to have been detected.
One might predict that such an effective mechanism might not only be able to kill cancer cells in the original mutant mouse, but perhaps one could transfer this mechanism to normal mice, as well.
