Literature review has been carried out to identify the common mis/conceptions related to research practices and methodology. Data were collected through the questionnaire administered among various Ph.D. students pursuing their research work in different fields. Findings highlighted that varied differences exist among the research scholars in their research practices and perception about qualitative, quantitative and mixed research traditions.
