Tutkimusympäri

tutkimusympäri is a Finnish term that translates to "research around" or "research related to." It signifies a broad scope of investigation or study concerning a particular topic or area. The term is often used when the exact boundaries of a research project are not yet fully defined or when a comprehensive overview of existing knowledge and related findings is desired. It implies a less focused, more exploratory approach compared to studies with very specific research questions.

When a study is described as tutkimusympäri, it suggests that the research may encompass multiple disciplines, methodologies, or perspectives. It could involve reviewing literature, gathering preliminary data, or exploring tangential aspects that might influence the main subject. This approach is particularly useful in the early stages of a project, for interdisciplinary work, or when dealing with complex phenomena that do not fit neatly into a single academic field. The goal is to gain a holistic understanding of the subject matter by examining its various connections and contexts. It emphasizes breadth over depth in certain initial phases.
