GENERIC STEPS IN THE EMPIRICAL RESEARCH PROCESS
Empirical research is a systematic method of investigating real-world problems through
observation, evidence, and analysis. Although methods may differ across disciplines,
empirical research generally follows a set of generic steps that guide the researcher from
identifying a problem to presenting credible findings. These steps are logically connected
and ensure that research is focused, valid, and meaningful.
Step 1: Identifying the research problem
The first and most important step in empirical research is identifying and defining the
research problem.
