Please explain research process when several people from different geographic areas collaborate.?

We collaborate with people all over the world- and in fact this was done prior to the communcation revolution (though a lot slower).  Nowadays, we talk on the phone and send email and graphs describing our data, and brainstorming about how to interpret it.  We also discuss what experiments should be done next.  Now, in any collaboration, each scientist has a field they are better at than the others, or techniques they are better at, or equipment, or even time and money.  So, the group decides who will do what-usually this is someone saying "we have done this before, and have the expertise, so we can do that" and everyone agreeing-it isnt usually an extremely formal process, and its generally obvious who will do what experiments..When the manuscript is being written, usually the first author (senior author) writes up a rough draft, composed of results sections, figure legends, etc that both the senior author and collaborators have written.  Then the senior author sends it out for comments to the other authors, until all are agreed it's in good shape.  At times, the different collaborators will meet, either at one of the scientist's institute, or at conferences, for face-to-face (which is always best).  Sometimes, if one scientist has great equipment and staff, and another has great experience, then the latter will travel to the former's institute and either run the experiments or train somebody to do them.  There are many many different ways collaborations can be established and coordinated, but that gives you an idea of it.

I'd have to suggest using the Wikipedia site. In spite of the fact that users are the contributors, they perform thorough research and provide reference information to support the articles. To learn more about using the site for research, I'd recommend using the source link I've provided. Good luck on your search!

Take a look at the region.  What types of activities go on there: agricultural, industrial, etc.  For example, if you asked me what determined the population concentration for the state of Michigan I would job availability.  For example, there are more jobs to be had in the cities so more people move to them.  Really take a look at what goes on in that region.  Where do most of the people live?  What takes place in those areas?  Then you will have your "answer."

Research can be done using communication, i.e., surveys, polls, computers, websites, telephone calls, or face to face interaction.  These are all used in collecting data for research.

The researcher can use various statistical methods such as enlarging sample sizes, using peer review, utilizing up-to-date data to support researched claim, etc.\n\nBut if you aren't looking for an open-ended answer to an open-ended question (*grin*), the following answer should suffice:\n\n"Statistical methodology assists researchers in making inferences about a large group (a population) based on observations of a smaller subset of that group (a sample). Sources of bias are conditions or circumstances which affect the external validity of statistical results. Thus, in order for a researcher to make legitimate conclusions about the specified population, two characteristics must be present within the sample: representative sampling and valid statistical assumptions."

Wow, that is a huge topic.  I suppose you could find some general things, but each region probably has its own unique background.  Try doing a websearch on a certain region or tribe and "history or religion"

Here's a tip that might help you out. Don't wait until the day before your project is due to go on Yahoo and ask someone to do it for you.\n\nIt's called research. Do it.

Often due to major restructurings, downsizing, re-engineering, mergers, joint ventures or other forms of alliances, many organisations find that their people  \nare not working well together.   Companies lose clients, lose key talent or fail to remain competitive and sustain a competitive advantage, because of poor cross- \nfunctional communications, internal conflicts, misunderstandings and stress, or because of poor working relations across various boundaries, especially in our 'globalised' world. \n\n\nWe work with organisations seeking to improve profitability by leveraging the potential in their human capital - we help them build bridges across cultures, whether departmental, corporate or international.  We work with managers to create effective cooperation and synergy within their organisations. \n\n\nHOW TO BRIDGE GAPS TO BUILD COOPERATION ACROSS BORDERS

Hi there;\n\nI have to hand it to you! You are showing a lot of gumption for taking on an assignment covering an entire continent of nations like that.\nI can list for you some very fine links (safe links) which can assist you in your endeavors. Good luck I hope you do well. :)

find things that you have in common.. work from there.. sometimes differences can compliment two people!!

It would take many many pages to fully describe how but below are some ideas:\n\noutline the logical steps to writing a good research paper. To achieve supreme excellence or perfection in anything you do, you need more than just the knowledge. Like the Olympic athlete aiming for the gold medal, you must have a positive attitude and the belief that you have the ability to achieve it. That is the real start to writing an A+ research paper.\n\nCONTENTS:\nSTEP 1. CHOOSE A TOPIC\nSTEP 2. FIND INFORMATION\nSTEP 3. STATE YOUR THESIS\nSTEP 4. MAKE A TENTATIVE OUTLINE\nSTEP 5. ORGANIZE YOUR NOTES\nSTEP 6. WRITE YOUR FIRST DRAFT\nSTEP 7. REVISE YOUR OUTLINE AND DRAFT\n              Checklist One   Checklist Two\nSTEP 8. TYPE FINAL PAPER\n\n\nSTEP 1. CHOOSE A TOPIC\nChoose a topic which interests and challenges you. Your attitude towards the topic may well determine the amount of effort and enthusiasm you put into your research.\n\nFocus on a limited aspect, e.g. narrow it down from "Religion" to "World Religion" to "Buddhism". Obtain teacher approval for your topic before embarking on a full-scale research. If you are uncertain as to what is expected of you in completing the assignment or project, re-read your assignment sheet carefully or ASK your teacher.\n\nSelect a subject you can manage. Avoid subjects that are too technical, learned, or specialized. Avoid topics that have only a very narrow range of source materials.\n\nSTEP 2. FIND INFORMATION\nSurf the Net.\n\nFor general or background information, check out useful URLs, general information online, almanacs or encyclopedias online such as Britannica, or Encarta, etc. Use Search Engines and other search tools as a starting point.\n\nPay attention to domain name extensions, e.g., .edu (educational institution), .gov (government), or .org (non-profit organization). These sites represent institutions and tend to be more reliable, but be watchful of possible political bias in some government sites. Be selective of .com (commercial) sites. Many .com sites are excellent; however, a large number of them contain advertisements for products and nothing else. Be wary of the millions of personal home pages on the Net. The quality of these personal homepages vary greatly. Learning how to evaluate Web sites critically and to search effectively on the Internet can help you eliminate irrelevant sites and waste less of your time.\n\nThe recent arrival of a variety of domain name extensions such as .biz (commercial businesses), .pro, .info (info on products / organizations), .name, .ws (WebSite), .cc (Cocos Island) or .sh (St. Helena) or .tv (Tuvalu) may create some confusion as you would not be able to tell whether a .cc or .sh or .tv site is in reality a .com, a .edu, a .gov, a .net, or a .org site. Many of the new extensions have no registration restrictions and are available to anyone who wishes to register a distinct domain name that has not already been taken. For instance, if Books.com is unavailable, you can register as Books.ws or Books.info via a service agent such as Register.com.\n\nTo find books in the Library use the OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog).\n\nCheck out other print materials available in the Library:\n\n    • Almanacs, Atlases, AV Catalogs\n    • Encyclopedias and Dictionaries\n    • Government Publications, Guides, Reports\n    • Magazines, Newspapers\n    • Vertical Files\n    • Yellow Pages, Zip or Postal Code and Telephone Directories\n\nCheck out online resources, Web based information services, or special resource materials on CDs:\n\n    • Online reference materials (including databases, e.g. SIRS, ProQuest, eLibrary, etc.)\n    • Wall Street Executive Library\n    • Index to Periodicals and Newspapers (e.g. MagPortal.com, OnlineNewspapers.com, etc.)\n    • Answers.com - an online dictionary and encyclopedia all-in-one resource that you can install\n      on your computer free of charge and find One-Click Answers

Someone else would have done it.\n\nThe work would have revealed it's need to be done as other people did their's.  Research begets more research.  It may have come later.  It's like asking what would have happened if Edison didn't perfect the light bulb - someone else would have eventually.

Hi, please visit these 2 URLs :\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv8-msgr&p=environment%2bdiversity%2bwater\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=environment%2Bdiversity%2Bwater\n...All the websites, which contain the facts and pics you need, are listed in these 2 URLs. \nSince none of these sites were set-up to meet only your school project's needs (!), no one site will provide what all you need. You will have to take matter from 2 or 3 sites, and summarise them - and then organise the matter in proper order, for your paper.\nBest of Luck, dear.

Don’t try to find a singular method of getting everyone together, because people are different across all countries.  Instead find the common interest.  Farmers talk farmer talk no matter the difference in crops.  There are people in all countries who play chess, show dogs, paint, dance, study history, and on and on and on.  Find these common interests and let these people run on their own.  Peace will follow.

this is biology not geography. \nCheck the Health section or perhaps women"s studies.

You meant a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. That's good way to proceed especially if it's a new research area.
