Aristotle and Scientific Method
Can somebody please tell me why Aristotle list as creator of Scientific Method? Scientific method was created 1000 years after him. Aristotle was a philosopher not a Scientist.Teaksmitty (talk) 15:49, 6 August 2014 (UTC)


 * You could try reading the reference you continue to delete. I'm sorry that you don't like Aristotle being listed in such a way but it takes more than your personal disapproval to make it "controversial". Helpsome (talk) 15:58, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Not a word is mention about scientific method on Aristotle page. He was a great philosopher that's what he is known by. Teaksmitty (talk) 16:04, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

 * User:Teaksmitty These are words from his article:" He contributed to almost every field of human knowledge then in existence, and he was the founder of many new fields. According to the philosopher Bryan Magee, "it is doubtful whether any human being has ever known as much as he did". Among countless other achievements, Aristotle was the founder of formal logic, pioneered the study of zoology, and left every future scientist and philosopher in his debt through his contributions to the scientific method. "

Researching is a diffrent method than rereading becuase much people don't care if they read at all. Rereading is going in the book & reading the book again. Much people don't like that because it's very akward that it is not nice to students but they have to do that to be smart. Because they have do that so they remember the story. Researching is the same as rereading because your going back & knowing what the answer is. & if you don't read at all... you won't be smart. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.198.215.38 (talk) 19:21, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Basic research and R&D
I modified the introductory paragraph on the basis that basic research should be separate from R&D, since R&D intrinsically is linked to applied research. Basic research is concerned with building knowledge, while applied research aims to feed into development of products. Suitable literature should be consulted to help clarify this conundrum. Possibly refer to: OECD 2002 Frascati Manual — Proposed Standard Practice for Surveys on Research and Experimental Development, p. 30. Rrobotto (talk) 09:39, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Research methods
I would argue that there are many more types of research in the world of academia. Could there also be mathematical?
