How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal or professional contexts, such as university settings or professional reports. While it is the standard translation for academic research, it sounds quite stiff in casual daily conversation. People usually prefer to use shorter, more direct phrases like 做研究 when talking about their work or studies in a relaxed environment.
