Contribution to methods and techniques of scientific research: A conceptual framework of research

Abstract

Research process has a certain structure and order of activities. These must be accepted and practiced in order to have all necessary elements to evaluate the validity of obtained results. Among the first such activities is development of a research conceptual framework. This creates the basis for drafting the scientific idea and designing the research project. Knowledge on this stage is important for any researcher, because without a conceptual framework, it is difficult to have correct development of research idea and to obtain valid results.
