Differences between academic and industry research characteristics.
|
• Enquiry driven • May deal with the theory • May be applied • Peer reviewed • Published in academic journals and books • Research is generally not published in non-academic outlets • Academic layout and language • Emphasis on postgraduate research • No overarching agenda • Considerable freedom to pursue personal search interests |
• It needs to be driven and is almost always applied • Generally, it seeks specific answers to specific problems • Tight timelines • Written in non-academic language • May have confidentially clauses • Research results are often not widely available • Research is meant for very specific agendas of the company • Research is expected to produce future income |
