Research can be strengthened by collating enough relevant, accredited foundational research to identify links and put in context the applied research. By doing this causality can be properly and logically linked to correlation. The more foundational research that is used in context of the applied research, the stronger the overall research will be.

Sufficient foundational research is vital to creating good applied research. By beginning your applied research with a solid and well researched foundation, you bring validity to applied research. Additionally, it is important to ensure that your foundational research comes from reliable sources. Strong foundational research can help you better understand the correlation between your data and the reasoning behind such correlation.

I can strengthen my applied research by using many sources for foundational research. Using many sources for foundational research, I can give thorough explanations about my conclusion. For example, if I found a correlation in my applied research, I could use my foundational research to explain why I got that specific correlation as a result.

I can use my applied research in conjunction with foundational research. I plan on using the company's database of past customers' vehicles to reach a conclusion about trends I see. This conclusion(s) will be backed up by what reputable sources believe to be true. I will more or less test my hypothesis of the data to see if the common beliefs are true, at least within the scope of the company's history.

In order to strengthen my research for my readers, I can do a substantial amount of foundational research to explain certain aspects of my applied research. Through explanations using foundational research I can fully describe situations that might be seen through my applied research. Specifically, if I've found a correlation in my applied research, then I'd use facts and knowledge from my foundational research in order to prove that the two variables are in fact related. By providing an in-depth reasoning for how the variables are related by causation rather than correlation I can strengthen my research by providing it with certain depth that allows it to be trusted.

Applied research is strengthened through foundational research from reputable sources. Thorough checking of these sources yield facts that hold value to back up a hypothesis. Using data collected by others to strengthen your own research can help validate your studies, if the source is factual. Using your own applied research can also prove a correlation, though variables must be clearly defined with a repeatable process outlined as well. Revealing the possible error from applied research also works to strengthen that data being used to prove correlation.

In collecting and analyzing data, make sure to take into account all outliers. These data points may negatively or positively skew data, causing a weaker or stronger correlation than the one that exists. Acknowledge the possible effects of these extreme values in your analysis and consider removing them from the data to provide an example of what your results would look like without outliers.

By comparing my study with other similar studies, I would be able to see if there is actually a correlation. This would also help me to be able to provide counter-arguments on why my research could be inaccurate.

Foundational research is an effective form of research when used properly. In order to support a conclusion with foundational research, it is important to find reputable and unbiased articles that help explain why a conclusion is valid. It is also important to avoid drawing rash conclusions from data. Confounding variables often manipulate the research results and need to be considered before drawing larger conclusions.

An important aspect of conducting valid applied research is ensuring the accuracy of the results. To do this, it is important to control confounding variables as much as possible, so one can create the best replication of a natural environment. Furthermore, one can use foundational research to "fact check" their results. This will ensure that one's findings are consistent with previous research.                                                     -Davis Wilson

When conducting research you must have foundation research to create a basis for your problem. Without this, your own research can not be supported. You might have incredible research but if it is not based on established findings it is insubstantial.

Various factors play a role in strong research. It is first important to have foundational research based on reputable sources. This entails analyzing resources to determine their reliability. When conducting applied research, it is equally important to determine and specify the independent and dependent variables. In determining causation, an important first step is eliminating all potential confounding variables that could be playing a role in the data. Repetition and consistency of the study eliminates potential for error. Additionally, determining a strong relationship is dependent on a strong research design.

One when conducting applied research can find correlation between two variables. They can then take the dependent variable and test it with another valid independent variable to validate if the original independent variable is the main component of the correlation.
Foundational research can be used to strengthen the applied research and to be sure that there is correlation between the two variables.

Foundational research is a good way to give context to your own applied research, and also to reinforce your own claims. However, it is not enough to create well-founded research alone. Your research must also be supported by your own logic that has a reasonable explanation.

- Jonathan L.

Research needs to be backed up, vetted, and consistent. One datapoint is unable to create correlation, and unrelated correlations need to be regarded as coincidences. When researching and when applying that research, it is not only important to look for rational correlations between data (applied or foundational), but also to look for support from or for your applied research. If it lacks these qualities, perhaps there was some kind of error on your part or perhaps you need to compare a larger sample of foundational research in order to see if there is correlation between multiple studies.

Applied research, generally employing empirical methodologies, allows for current, collected data to compare to the logic and reasoning of published resources to strengthen  a correlation.

With applied research, accurate and precise data collection using the scientific method ensures that the research is built on definite measurements and helps to solidify the relationship observed.

Using foundational research to explain or justify a relationship in one's applied research strengthens the argument presented. Using proven relationships known to have correlation is the best way to build strong applied research. i.e. use what has come before you.
