Provide solutions to a problem
For example, “Proving an interface model that can attract more users to utilize more watch time on website pages”.
Exploring and analyzing the general issues
For example, “Proving an algorithm for search that will search the data more quickly as compared to other search algorithms”.
Explaining a phenomenon
For example, “database normalization role in quick data access from a database.”
Denying a phenomenon
For example, “Introducing an automatic machine, that is more powerful than a Turing machine.”
Constructing a new procedure
For example, “Introducing a new data structure, that is more efficient than the stack, link list, array, and tree, etc.”
Constructing a new system
For example, “Introducing a new operating system for PC that is more powerful than windows.”
Enhancing the existing knowledge etc
For example, “Introducing a new image optimization methodology.”
All of these together or partially together or some other kind of purpose can be possible for research.
