Bunu çok önceden sistematik olarak incelemiş olmalıydın. Histoire de la Biologie Moleculaire‘de, meseleyi moleküler biyolojiden bir örnek üzerinden inceleyen bir makaleye (Wyatt 1972) atıf var.
Yukarıdaki sayfadaki şu yaklaşım (mavi) ilginç:
- Your hypothesis or research question will enable you to devise a research paradigm which identifies the data you need and how to collect it. [data]
- Through the work of others and your own findings you can contextualise your data through analysis and start to make sense of it by identifying relations within the data in a given context. [information]
- From your analysis you may start to see patterns of recurring behaviour which you now begin to understand. You may be able to answer what is happening in a given context. Here you need to apply some critical analysis that enables you to contextualise and interpret your findings. As a Masters student you may stop your research at this point. [knowledge]
- From the knowledge gained and possibly some follow up studies in addition to the work of others, you may be able to understand why these patterns of behaviour are occurring and develop/support/refute a theoretical model as an explanation. [wisdom]
