CRITERIA FOR EXCELLENCE
IN RESEARCH : The 3Rs
-
RIGOUR
• reliable and valid research measures;
• appropriate and adequate controls exercised;
• ensure that results are generalizable and
utility is optimized.
The applicant should show some familiarity with
procedures normally adopted in disciplined inquiry
as well as exercise care in taking all necessary
precautions to ensure replicability and generalizability
of the research.
-
RELEVANCE
Research yields results, pertinent and applicable
to the problem being investigated.
Even if pure research is to enhance theoretical
knowledge, researcher should not ignore the possibility
of application or applicability of research.
-
REALITY
Research should involve really important variables
and takes cognizance of real-world constraints.
Research which is conducted in near-ideal conditions
and which assumes that there is practically no limit
to resource inputs would be of little use if and
when its results are to be applied in the real world.
