There are a great many disadvantages of historical research including trying to plan out the future based on historical events. You could also predict things based on the past and limit the opportunities for the future.
The difference between research and evaluation is that research is were you find out about something and evaluation is were you say what you think of your work how you can improve it you usually evaluate your work once you Finnish something.
Ex Post Facto Evaluation : Measurement of value of research after the research is done. Prior or Interim Eveluation : Measurement of value of research which is done before starting the research or doing the measurement at intermediate stages during the research..
Advantages: - practical orientation - can reveal whether policies work/do not work - explains underlying logic behind the programme - it can improve programme effectiveness Disadvantages: - conflicts of interests among stakeholders - costs of evaluation: it diverts resources from the programme - apart from possessing research skills, researcher has to play different roles: collaborator, trainer, group facilitator etc. in order to smooth conflicts of interest - it is difficult to generalize based on evaluation results
if it gives good money or not
Inductive research is more applicable to policy formulation and policy evaluation.

A conclusion explains what you found out by your research. An evaluation explains what went well and what could have been improved and how.
