Evidence-based research is a method of conducting research that involves systematically evaluating and using the best available evidence from research studies to inform decision-making and practice. This approach involves identifying and critically appraising existing research studies, synthesizing the findings, and applying them to develop evidence-based guidelines or recommendations for practice. The goal of evidence-based research is to improve the quality and outcomes of decisions, interventions, and policies by using rigorous and systematic methods to assess the strength and reliability of research evidence.
