The Oxford Dictionary defines research as "the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions"

They are: the purpose and character of the dealing, the nature of the work; the possibility of obtaining the work within a reasonable time at an ordinary commercial price; the effect of dealing on the potential market for, or value of the work; in a case where only part of the work is copied, the amount and substantiality of the part copied in relation to the whole work.
