How Do I Gain Research Skills?

 Research skill is important skill to gain and leverage in your career. Research skill gives you the ability to deep dive into concepts, to perform critical analysis for insightful results that form a knowledge that significantly contributes to making difference in society, research area, and self-progress. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Good research is all about finding answers to your research questions - not necessarily as a way to verify what you already think you know. Getting involved with industries or academics in form of internships, workshops, and skill development training on specific topics of your interest will help you gain and sharpen your skill.

Here are 10 steps on how you can gain research skill


  1. Define a Question to Investigate. Be curious, make observations, and collect data about the experiment, situation, and expected outcome.

  2. Make hypotheses or predictions and find ways to prove them based on data.

  3. Break down your big hypothetical question into small parts.

  4. Conduct research, literature, survey, update with new findings in science and follow current trends. Learn the methodologies to execute tasks or projects.

  5. Gather data, analyze the data, discuss with field-relevant experts.

  6. Draw Conclusions and challenge the conclusions, bring diverse views from others

  7. Try to learn new findings, limitations, and consequences of new research developments.

  8. Stay in touch with new findings in science and follow current trends

  9. Planning, execution, and analyses of experiments are key factors that play a major role in gaining potent skills

  10. Join skill development programs and communities/groups that can validate, empower and guide you.
