This is true.
Research is a process of discovery.
You may not know much about your topic at all when you begin, and you certainly won't know what you'll find. As your project develops, you'll make discoveries, become more familiar with your topic, and think carefully about what you find. So keep in mind that the research process does involve knowing where and how to look for information , but it also involves making decisions about which information to use, analyzing relationships between sources, questioning their contents, and developing your own ideas about your topic as your paper progresses.
