I have to do a research without a practical part, only theoretical. The secondary data will be the only source for data collection, results, analysis and discussion, any help? how to perform such a topic? any guidance or advice? what is the criteria for this type of research?
Dear Shimos A. Alshareef
Please have look into this article for more information:
https://www.questionpro.com/blog/secondary-research/
You can review others' published works to find a common trend in the data. You can do systematic review and perform meta-analysis. Please see the folloing paper-
Article Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
If you have enough expertise on a specific research topic, and you don't want to do systematic review or not confident with meta-analysis, you can also try to come up with descriptive review articles.
All of these are good options to hone your research skills, especially if you do not have access to resource-rich laboratories and good supervisors.
Indeed, writing a good descriptive or systematic review can generate more interesting results than doing lab-based research. Best wishes.
