istraivanjima

Istraživanja, in South Slavic languages such as Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian, is the plural form of the noun istraživanje, meaning investigation or research. The term is used across disciplines to refer to systematic inquiry conducted to discover facts, test ideas, or generate new knowledge. The form istraživanja appears in various contexts, from scientific studies to investigative reporting and formal inquiries.

In science and academia, istraživanja denote studies and projects that address specific research questions. They typically involve defining a problem, reviewing existing literature, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting findings. Methods may be qualitative, quantitative, or mixed, and results are often communicated through papers, theses, or technical reports.

In journalism, istraživanja refers to in-depth reporting that seeks to uncover information of public interest, often requiring verification from multiple sources and documents. In public administration and legal contexts, inquiries or formal investigations carried out by commissions or authorities may also be described as istraživanja.

Outcomes of istraživanja include published articles, research reports, policy briefs, or official records. The quality and impact of the work depend on sound methodology, transparency, and reproducibility. Depending on the field, istraživanja may be exploratory or confirmatory, cross-sectional or longitudinal, and they contribute to knowledge, decision-making, or accountability in society.
