The diagram illustrates how research should be conducted and the steps that should be followed by researchers when writing a research report.

First of all, a researcher should think about what research topic he or she is going to write about. The sources of research idea could come from any previous research done by other people before, or be based on his/her personal experience and anything that he/she is curious about. Then, a statement of the research question such as objectives of the research is set and defined.

In the next stage, a research methodology is designed and the readership of the research report is identified. After that, based on the research metholdolgoy, sources of information and ways to obtain them are identified. Following this, different kinds of data are collected which will then be analyzed by the researcher. Finally, any findings, conclusions, recommendation and implications are put together into a report.

It is helpful for anyone who needs to conduct research on different topics either for work or for study to follow the above research steps which gives a clear direction on how research is carried out.
