For a lot of apprentice researchers, the word ‘research’ may sound scary since they may have an impression that research is a task that is beyond their capacity. These people may not realize the fact that research conducting is actually all around us. Just figure it out what you will do if you would like to cook a dish of spaghetti with meatballs but you have no idea how to do it. You will probably surf the Internet or talk to other people to get the information you want. After that, you may try cooking it by following the instructions in the recipe you have got. If you find that your spaghetti is a bit too salty, you may note down that less salt should be put the next time you cook. If you do not eat beef, you may also try cooking your spaghetti with chicken instead. The whole process, started from searching for information, doing the cooking experiment, and noting down what you learned from your cooking, can be called “research.”
