Answer 1

Solution:

• Academic research communities focus to deliver research outcomes on the basis of academic concepts and proven techniques that are already established and accepted by the research scholars, whereas practitioners research communities focus upon the practical and application based outcomes that have come out during their research work.
• It means that practitioners research relies upon the theoretical framework as well as actual outcome of the research work that may be different from what is said by the academic research on the same topic.
• Hence, scope of work for the practitioners research becomes broad, where the own experience of work is counted in delivering the research outcome.
• In contrast to it, academic research communities rely on what is already proven and it is available to all the researchers in this community.
• It has its fixed set of assumptions, principles and limitations on the basis of methods used.
• Academic research community is more prompt in presenting the findings to make it available for its application in real world scenario and make it available for further advanced research.
• It will bring more recognition to the academic research work. In contrast to it, practitioners' research work will be available to their own community people, as it based own the actual work done and results observed. So, privacy of the individuals as subjects, are also considered for protection.
