Although it is impossible to generalize completely, Applied Research deals with practical problems and is generally [[empirical]]. Because applied research resides in the messy real world, strict research [[protocols]] must often be relaxed. For example, it may be impossible to use a [[random]] sample. Thus, [[transparency]] in the [[methodology]] is [[critical]]. Implications for [[interpretation]] of results brought about by relaxing a more or less strict [[canon]] of methodology should also be developed.

'''Applied''' science is the application of [[scientific]] [[knowledge]] transferred into a [[physical]] [[environment]]. Examples include testing a [[theoretical]] [[model]] through the use of [[formal science]], or solving a [[practical]] problem through the use of [[natural science]].

Fields of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering engineering] are closely related to applied sciences. Applied science is important for [[technology]] development. Its use in industrial settings is usually referred to as research and development (R&D).
