Research is "creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge". It involves the collection, organization, and analysis of information to increase understanding of a topic or issue. A research project may be an expansion on past work in the field. To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects or the project as a whole. The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied research) are documentation, discovery, interpretation, and the research and development (R&D) of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge. Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably both within and between humanities and sciences. There are several forms of research: scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, social, business, marketing, practitioner research, life, technological, etc. The scientific study of research practices is known as meta-research.Assessment may refer to: Health assessment, identifies needs of the patient and how those needs will be addressed Nursing assessment, gathering information about a patient's physiological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual status Psychiatric assessment, gathering information about a person in a psychiatric or mental health service Psychological assessment, examination of a person's mental health by a professional such as a psychologAssessment (journal) (ASMNT), a psychology journal Educational assessment, documenting knowledge, skills, aptitudes, and beliefs Environmental impact assessment, assessment of environmental consequences of a plan Library assessment, to learn about the needs of patrons Risk assessment, determining value of risk related to a concrete situation and a recognized threat Survey data collection, marketing assessments Tax assessment, determining amounts to be paid or assessed for tax or insurance purposes Vulnerability assessment, identifying, quantifying, and ranking vulnerabilities in a system Writing assessment, examining practices, technologies, and process of using writing to assess performance and poteExam (disambiguation) Examination (disambiguation) Types of assessmentPhysical may refer to: Physical examination, a regular overall check-up with a doctor Physical (Olivia Newton-John album), 1981 "Physical" (Olivia Newton-John song) Physical (Gabe Gurnsey album) "Physical" (Alcazar song) (2004) "Physical" (Enrique Iglesias song) (2014) "Physical" (Dua Lipa song) (2020) "Physical (You're So)", a 1980 song by Adam & the Ants, the B side to "Dog Eat Dog" Physical (TV series), an American television seriesA college (Latin: collegium) is an educational institution or a constituent part of one.

A policy is a statement of intent and is implemented as a procedure or protocol. Policies are generally adopted by a governance body within an organization. Policies can assist in both subjective and objective decision making. Policies used in subjective decision-making usually assist senior management with decisions that must be based on the relative merits of a number of factors, and as a result, are often hard to test objectively, e.g. work–life balance policy. In contrast, policies to assist in objective decision-making are usually operational in nature and can be objectively tested, e.g. password policy.The term may apply to government, public sector organizations and groups, as well as individuals, Presidential executive orders, corporate privacy policies, and parliamentary rules of order are all examples of policy. Policy differs from rules or law. While the law can compel or prohibit behaviors (e.g. a law requiring the payment of taxes on income), policy merely guides actions toward those that are most likely to achieve the desired outcome.Policy or policy study may also refer to the process of making important organizational decisions, including the identification of different alternatives such as programs or spending priorities, and choosing among them on the basis of the impact they will have. Policies can be understood as political, managerial, financial, and administrative mechanisms arranged to reach explicit goals. In public corporate finance, a critical accounting policy is a policy for a firm/company or an industry that is considered to have a notably high subjective element, and that has a material impact on the financial statements.Common may refer to:Diving most often refers to: Diving (sport), the sport of jumping into deep water Underwater diving, human activity underwater for recreational or occupational purposesDiving or Dive may also refer to:
