I support the ideas revealed by the author about the way one needs to conduct research. It is true that research should have a clearly defined problem. The problem assists the researcher in developing the purpose of the research which acts as the guide for the research. The purpose assists the researchers in developing details for the research which involve the literature review, the methodology and research designs to apply to foster success. Research controls are also necessary for the process to ensure that the methods apply well as required. Besides, in every research ethical consideration play a great role in enhancing success in the process. The research should act ethically in applying all the steps of the research. This is also supported by Bible in the book of Romans chapter 1: 18-20 which reveals that heaven is against everything that is wrong (The Holy Bible, New International Version, 1979, p.793). Finally, the analysis of the research should be detailed to foster accuracy hence coming up with a concrete conclusion that solves the research problem.

I concur with the sediments provided by the author of this post that a good research should meet some features. The first important feature is the definition of the entire process which calls proper planning of the process. It may involve detailing the purpose of the study and detailing the methods to be used. Another important feature to consider in research is the design to be used in ensuring that the accurate and reliable data is obtained. It is true that the high standards of ethics are vital to conducting research. The researcher needs to honesty and should apply professionalism as dictated by ethics. The Bible also supports the execution of research work by requesting one to do work in accordance with the will of God. Mark 3:35 summons one to perform his duties as per the provisions of God to remain his brother or sister (New International Version, 2011, p. 708). With accurate and reliable data it becomes easier for a researcher to perform a concise analysis and drawing sensible conclusions.
