I am somehow involved in the world of Science myself. Conducting the background research is very important and crucial in teh success of the study or experiment. Bad research would most of the time lead to failed experiments.

To design an experiment, you need to research what techniques and equipment might be best for investigating your topic. Rather than starting from scratch, savvy Investigators want to use their library and Internet research to help them find the best way to do things.

You want to learn from the experience of others rather than blunder around and repeat their mistakes. A scientist named Mike Kalish put it humorously like this: “A year in the lab can save you a day in the library.”

Whether it’s business or science, for every project, researchers usually summarize relevant literature/ information in the introduction to research reports. This provides readers with a background for understanding current knowledge on a topic and illuminates the significance for the new study.

Lisa, so what you and Joey are saying is that background research is also important in business, not just in doing science fair projects. What this shows is that when you learn how to do a science fair project you learn a skill for life’s future experiences.

@Joey: I totally agree with you. I too have similar experience. Last month, I was working on determining Customer Satisfaction Level of a Commercial Bank and about to complete the report, then I came to know about the SERVQUAL model. Thus I had to redo the report again just because I didn’t conduct proper background review.

Doing a background research is very crucial for a project’s success. I remember one time I was working with some research work on finding the relationship between corporate image and customer satisfaction. I blew it up just because the background research was not done properly.
