Response to Powell
Indeed whether it is an academic or professional research, a researcher aims to find quantifiable and verifiable information on a particular subject to increase knowledge and understanding of such topics. However, while Powell finds Google and Youtube helpful in the research process, the information obtained from the sources would not always be professional because professionals post it. Therefore, it would be better to conduct research using more reliable sources such as Google Scholar and library databases. Such sources mostly contain articles that have undergone extensive review and have been deemed scholarly (Vijayalakshmi & Sivapragasam, 2019). On the other hand, Powell’s research may be similar to that conducted in various industries and businesses in terms of profit and safety. Nevertheless, it is worth noting multiple commercial industries and businesses do more extensive research, and they rely more on scholarly and professional sources (Vijayalakshmi & Sivapragasam, 2019). Finally, Powell’s research differs from the scientific research conducted in the lab on quantifiable and reliable grounds.
