Study

Study (scientific study) refers to the systematic investigation of phenomena to increase knowledge, often using observation, experimentation, and analysis. Scientific studies test hypotheses, interpret data, and apply the scientific method to produce evidence-based conclusions. They can take many forms, including observational studies, experiments, and controlled trials, and form the foundation for scientific understanding across disciplines.
