In my opinion there are certain questions that researchers should ask themselves before undertaking a research project, for example: 'What is the state of knowledge of the subject I want to study?' 'Why is it important to undertake this research?' 'What new knowledge will this provide?' For several researchers the posing of these questions already constitutes a challenge.
Faculty teaching introductory classes who are involved in the generation of primary research data can also provide large numbers of students with meaningful access to the prime commodity of a research university, new knowledge not yet widely available.
Renée DiResta is the director of research at New Knowledge, a cybersecurity company that monitors disinformation.
This research generates new knowledge and analysis, innovation and insight, guidance for policy, and nourishment for lives.
In this sense, the doctoral degree is not just a passport to a world of research and new knowledge, it is also a valuable asset that increases one's chances of earning higher paid in more satisfying jobs.
As the Ebola outbreak in West Africa demonstrated, a core responsibility of public health research is new knowledge on the prevention, control, and treatment of infectious diseases.
That suggests that culprits have moved beyond relying on Facebook advertising to increase the spread of disinformation, said Renee DiResta, director of research at New Knowledge, an organization that studies disinformation campaigns.
Jonathon Morgan, chief executive of the research firm New Knowledge, said he created a Facebook page under false pretenses to test his ability to appeal to conservative voters and bought a small amount of retweets — spending less than $10 — to measure the potential "lift" he could achieve in social media messaging.
We agree with other investigators [ 17, 18] who recognize that policy and guidelines need to be revised quickly in response to the continually evolving enterprise of genomic research as new knowledge is generated and technologies advance.
