Numerous analysts and researchers have conducted copious studies on the validity of doing a perfect research. According to Griffiths (1998, pp.97) research refers to a methodological scrutiny into various themes in the quest to devise theories and establish facts that relate to the topic under scrutiny. If these theories have to be accurately established, it is mandatory that the researcher collect data from various sources. Though perfect research entails no alterations of results collected, it has
It would not be an underestimation agreeing that conducting a perfect research is not an easy task. I base my argument three basic phenomena, first, the observation made whilst undertaking a research may be limited to only a certain scope of data mandatory for a research. The world is home to anonymous information which observation alone cannot be a source of conclusive research. Not all the information we see is real and may be a result of previous happenings. It is mandatory that a researcher is competent in literacy skills in order to ascertain if what observed is contingent to the real facts. The researcher is able to manage and organize information by the virtue of he or she being literate.
The second aspect deals with the time factor. Though most researchers have enough time and reference materials at their disposal, they are not able to conduct a meaningful research. Griffiths (1998, pp.67) argues that researchers should lay down principles that will allow them prioritize most vital issues and how to bring them out to the beneficiaries. Equipped with this information, the researcher is able to work effectively within the time limits required.
Thirdly, researchers prove unskillful in sorting out imperative information for research from the chaff. According to Pratt (2000 pp.139), majority of the researchers are not in a position to prioritize the vital information that may make research a successful endeavor. Research entails search on a closer and keener approach, which in itself means that it has some loopholes. While undertaking an inquiry the researcher needs to outline clearly, what he aims to achieve both on a long-term and short-term basis. If research has to be useful, the researcher ought to select the key points required and avoid being too wordy which inhibits validity and reliability of information researched on.
On the other hand, comprehensive research is possible if the above criteria are adhered to the letter. Since research claims a vast part in invention, researchers should not despair but carry on with conducting research, which ultimately may lead to perfection.
In conclusion, it seems completely impossible to conduct research successfully. Time spans will constantly be put in place and human nature has not known enough time since time immemorial. No researcher has ever been documented to be a perfect. All of them add up to the trial process of perfection, which is almost unmanageable. Basically, research provides training grounds for researchers and this cannot be termed as a successful endeavor.
