The distinctive characteristic of scientific research is the maintenance of records and careful control or observation of conditions under which the phenomena are studied so that others will be able to reproduce the observations .

such investigation is called {
experimental research }
or {
experimentation }
or {
experimental science };
it is often conducted in a laboratory .
If the investigation is conducted with a view to obtaining information directly useful in producing objects with commercial or practical utility ,
the research is called {
applied research }.
Investigation conducted for the primary purpose of discovering new facts about natural phenomena ,
or to elaborate or test theories about natural phenomena ,

Research in fields such as astronomy ,
in which the phenomena to be observed cannot be controlled by the experimenter ,
