The phrase for the purposes of does not permit the practioner activity itself to be described as research unless a systematic enquiry whose goal is communicable knowledge is undertaken.

Systematic investigation through practical action calculated to devise or test new information, ideas, forms or procedures and to produce communicable knowledge.
