A Domain-Specific Research Task is a research task that is a domain-specific task.
- Context:
- input: Domain-Specific Questions, Research Objectives, or Domain-Specific Knowledge.
- output: Domain-Specific Findings, Domaing Research Summaries, or Annotated Domain-Specific Documents.
- It can involve the use of specialized Domain-Specific Databases.
- It can precede Domain-Specific Reasoning and Decision-Making Processes.
- It can be performed by Domain Experts.
- It can support Domain-Specific Processes.
- It can be supported by Research Software System.
- It can range from being Qualitative Domain-Specific Research to being Quantitative Domain-Specific Research.
- It can involve Domain-Specific Critical Thinking and Domain-Specific Analytical Skills.
