Research is digging into a narrowed topic to find information from other authors and researchers who support or refute a point of view that becomes a thesis statement. At that point new evidence is built to support the thesis with evidence through several tests of its validity. The conclusion is based on the verified research findings that will be shared with the astrology community.
