Introduction
Research is a thoughtful, systematic, controlled and critical procedure which aims to discover or interpret events and phenomena, relations and laws of a particular field: a search for facts, a means of learning about reality, a procedure for understanding partial truths, or not discovering partial falsehoods. Research can be defined as a set of methods to solve problems whose solutions need to be obtained through a series of logical operations, taking as a starting point objective data. Research is a systematic, organized and objective process, whose purpose is to answer a question or hypothesis and to increase the knowledge and information about the unknown. Furthermore, research is a systematic activity aimed at obtaining, through observation, experimentation, new information and skills needed to explore the various fields of science and technology.
