Research and archiving

Research is the process of systematically investigating a topic to discover new information, understand existing knowledge, or answer specific questions. Archiving involves organizing, preserving, and storing records or data so they remain accessible over time. Together, research generates valuable information, while archiving ensures that this information is securely kept for future reference, validation, or further study. Archiving supports the integrity and continuity of research by maintaining reliable records, documents, or data sets in an organized manner for ongoing or future use.
