2 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +8
peer agreement (net): +8line of research Explanation: Three *lines of research* or a *three-pronged research* programme/approach, etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2010-08-05 16:09:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "three avenues of research" "three research approaches" 1st, 2nd, 3rd approach 1st, 2nd, 3rd line/avenue of research -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2010-08-05 16:12:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I am not sure that theme/area/field work here, as it is one theme/area/field being researched from various different angles if I understand it correctly. Ah, so how about "angles" "three different angles of research" "three different research angles" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2010-08-06 11:37:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I have just found a nice link that makes a clear distinction between "field of research" (i.e. what is being researched) and "avenue of research" (i.e. how that research is being approached): "That said, depending on *the field in which the research is taking place*, the specific avenue of research being undertaken, and the needs of the faculty member and research team, specific duties of a research assistant can vary widely from position to position." http://www.ehow.com/list_6075573_list-research-assistant-dut... Also: "By putting these different elements in place, I hoped to encourage other researchers to follow this avenue of research." http://ec.europa.eu/research/research-eu/63/article_6334_en.... |
