What does research mean in science?

Research literally means 'to search again' and that suggests the process is iterative. We start our research by first studying the work, methodology, and results of previous investigators. [Much library study involved.]

This will suggest whether the hypothesis being investigated is novel or not, and which nooks and crannies deserve further or new attention. And may even suggest where previous results or beliefs are incorrect.
