[edit] External Link
Hello,
I think a link to [Community Portal for Researchers from around the world Enables Researchers across disciplines to discuss and promote their Research] is relevant to the Research Page and should be included.
What do you think?

[edit] Misc
Who penned the, semi-facetious, maxim about the difference between plagiarism and research? --- Dave Tozier, E. Sacramento County, N. CA
It would be helpful to state who is a proponent of basic research and who is a proponent of applied research. Alison9 16:10, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Tough call, Alison9. There's such an unclear line already between the two. A lot of my reseach could be considered pure, but if you find *one* use for it, it becomes applied! A handy magic trick for grants... G.hartig 16:46, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Nothing to be added to this.
[edit] Applied and basic RESEARCH
Here is the content from the applied science article in case any of it can be incorporated into this article. I redirected it here.
Applied science is the exact science of applying knowledge from one or more natural scientific fields to practical problems. It is closely related or identical to engineering. Applied science can be used to develop technology. Leibniz (1646-1716) was the first to conceptualize this possibility and to forcibly try to convince society to take advantage of it.
Reference
- applied science; WordNet entry.

I found that there's a pure science article as well. Should these articles stay separate or be merged and redirected here? If they are redirected here, they should be mentioned as alternative names. -- Kjkolb 16:36, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Copied from the applied science talk page: I strongly disagree with this (applied science) being a redirect permanently. Research is NOT the same thing at all, indeed research is used with pure science just as much as it is with applied science. I can accept that currently a couple of sentences isn't much help, and maybe a redirect to a decent article on science is helpful, but we need to have an article on this subject. This topic is listed as one of the core topics|150 core topics for Wikipedia 1.0. Walkerma 03:51, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Follow up:
- There are 62 links to applied science, of which about 50 are links from articles. If the applied science article were a full-length article, this would probably be much more.
- If applied science must be a redirect, may I suggest it goes to science? If the pure science article is merged with applied science, you get a very short version of science!

I reverted the applied science article and I redirected basic science to pure science instead of research. I wasn't saying that applied science is the same as research. The research article explains basic research and applied research, which are often used interchangeably with basic science and applied science, respectively. -- Kjkolb 11:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Field test is a redlink
Field test is a redlink - someone might want to make it a redirect (not sure where) or an article. Linked from Junkers Ju 86 & LifeStraw. --Singkong2005 01:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
On Original Research for The facts (truth) of Science:
There is something "incredibly" factually and important about "feelings" (original research? ...) that no one here seems to understand, or at least not that way (of words? ...).
Science of Understanding (Makes all other science seem LESS "meaningful," relative to The facts, of a/the greater "Understanding".) 1 04:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
When can we mix quantitative and qualitative data?
[edit] Original research
Original research should not redirect here. Original research is not the same as research. You can do research to collect known facts from disparent sources into one cohesive article, but this is not "original" research in the sense that that term is used in wikipedia.

I've added the link to the policy page, inline with standard practice as seen on this pageAssume good faith Wjhonson 19:16, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Research is a subset of invention
Suggest moving "Research is a subset of invention" to main description; it's not specific to basic research.
