True or False?
. . . going to a library, gathering an accumulation of facts on a particular topic, and presenting these facts in a written paper is NOT research.
Paul D. Leedy, Practical Research: Planning and Design, 5th ed. (New York: Macmillan, 1989), 16.
Notes:
Scholarly research contributes something new to a field of knowledge by either adding to, strengthening or rebutting older research or creating a new theoretical model.
