5. **Objectivity and Neutrality** – Conducted without bias, aiming for factual accuracy.  
6. **Publication and Dissemination** – Communicated through research papers, scientific articles, books, or conference presentations.  

==== Examples  ====
 
- Conducting [[laboratory experiment]]s in neuroscience to study brain functions.  
- Publishing a peer-reviewed article on AI applications in medicine.  
- Writing a review paper summarizing advances in spinal surgery techniques.  
- Developing a new surgical technique and validating it through clinical trials.
