Ground realities of field research

Field research is a method of observing and collecting data that directly relates to real-world conditions and experiences. The primary data collected through fieldwork serves as a foundation for formulating and testing hypotheses. Fieldwork involves investigating novel or underexplored phenomena, as well as describing or comparing the influence of variables in the real world. It can lead to groundbreaking discoveries, such as the identification of new species, which may be possible without venturing into the wild.
