Scientific investigation

Procedures designed to support or refute a hypothesis.

The systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.

The action or process of observing something or someone carefully or in order to gain information.

A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning

A supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

A scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.

The factor in a scientific experiment that is deliberately manipulated, changed, or controlled by the researcher to test its effects on a dependent variable

The specific factor being measured, observed, or tested in a scientific experiment

Any factor, trait, or condition that is intentionally kept unchanged throughout an experiment to ensure a fair test

A standard component of an experiment that remains untreated or unchanged to provide a baseline for comparing results and measuring the effect of independent variables

An interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data

The final step of an investigation, summarizing the results, evaluating the hypothesis (supported or refuted), and interpreting findings based on evidence

The systematic process of breaking down complex data, materials, or phenomena into smaller, manageable parts to understand their structure, function, and interrelationships.

Systematic, often unintentional, errors in the design, data collection, analysis, or interpretation phases of research that lead to inaccurate, skewed, or non-objective results

The general, long-term direction or movement of data points over time, revealing underlying patterns, tendencies, or shifts in a system
