Study and ResearchGood research starts with a question (and not a

yes/no question).

After the question, the researcher comes up with a conjecture or theory (I think).

You then conduct research to prove your theory to be right or wrong.

The goal is to improve the theory, not always the answer to the questions. The theory has to be edited many times.
