Research site
A research site is a place where people conduct research. Common research sites include universities, hospitals, research institutes, and field research locations.
Clinical research
In clinical research a research site conducts all or part of a clinical trial. For clinical trials which recruit research participants in multiple locations, often the research will have a headquarters then multiple regional research sites to conduct the research in that region. In a network of research sites where all are recruiting study participants, sites with low recruitment benefit from coaching from sites with high recruitment.[1]
Characteristics of good clinical research sites include setting good timelines, early participant recruitment, and having a management plan for efficiency.[2]
Researchers in nursing have reported challenges accessing the facilities designated for conventional medical research.[3]
The design of a research site should have a means of detecting fraud.[4]
Ethnographic research
Researchers who do not have a cultural tie to a research population may have difficulty doing ethnographic research with that community.[5]
