Difference Between Pure and Applied Research

关键区别 - 纯与应用研究

研究通常分为不同类别qualitative and quantitative, and pure and applied. While qualitative and quantitative classification is based on the type of data and methods used, pure and applied classification is based on thegoalof the research. Thus, the key difference between pure and applied research depends on their goal;pure research is conducted without a specific goal in mind whereas applied research conducted with the aim of solving a problem.

What is Pure Research?

Pure research, also known asfundamental或者basic research, is conducted without any specific goal in mind. The main aim of pure research is to advance knowledge and to identify or explain the relationship betweenvariables. Thus, it advances fundamental knowledge about the world, and introduce new theories, ideas, and principals as well as new ways of thinking. Pure research is the source of most new information and ways of thinking in the world.

纯研究是由好奇心驱动的，intuition, and interest, and is more exploratory in nature than applied research. Sometimes pure research can act as a foundation for applied research.

What is Applied Research?

不同于纯粹的研究,应用研究是行为ed in order to solve a specific and practical problem. Therefore, it tends to be descriptive in nature. However, applied research is often based on basic research or pure research. Since it is involved in solving practical problems, it often includesempirical methods.

应用研究用于医学，技术，教育或农业等各种领域。研究遗传学与癌症之间的关系，观察儿童以确定各种干预措施的有效性的行为是应用研究的一些例子。这样的研究始终具有特定的目标。此外，应用研究的结果通常用于当前使用，而不是未来。同样重要的是要注意，应用研究始终基于通过基础研究发现的信息或理论。

What is the difference between Pure and Applied Research?

Pure vs Applied Research
Pure research is conducted without any specific goal.	Applied research is conducted with a specific goal in mind.
Aim
The main aim is to advance knowledge.	The main aim is to solve a specific and practical problem.
Nature
Pure research is exploratory in nature.	Applied research is descriptive in nature.
Theories and Principals
Pure research identifies new ideas, theories, principals and new ways of thinking.	Applied research is based on the theories, principals discovered through pure research.

概括– Pure vs Applied Research

The difference between pure and applied research depends on the goal of the research. Pure research, also known as basic research, has no specific goal, but it advances the knowledge and contributes to the generation of new theories, principals and ways of thinking. Applied research, on the other hand, aims to solve a specific and practical problem. Applied research is also based on the findings of pure research.
