Applied research is a method of problem-solving and is also practical in areas of science, such as its presence in applied psychology. Applied psychology uses human behavior to grab information to locate a main focus in an area that can contribute to finding a resolution.<ref>{{Cite web |date=22 February 2019 |title=APA Strengthens Commitment to Applied Psychology. |url=https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2019/02/applied-psychology |access-date=6 November 2022 |website=American Psychological Association. |archive-date=10 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221110193717/https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2019/02/applied-psychology |url-status=live }}</ref> More specifically, this study is applied in the area of criminal psychology. With the knowledge obtained from applied research, studies are conducted on criminals alongside their behavior to apprehend them.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Wisdom |first1=C S |last2=Toch |first2=H |title=Contribution of Psychology to Criminal Justice Education |url=https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/contribution-psychology-criminal-justice-education |access-date=1 November 2022 |website=US.

Under this category, research methods demonstrate an understanding of the scientific method and social research designs used in criminological research. These reach more branches along the procedure towards the investigations, alongside laws, policy, and criminological theory.{{cn|date=November 2023}}

Engineering is the practice of using [[natural science]], [[mathematics]], and the [[engineering design process]] to solve technical problems, increase efficiency and productivity, and improve systems. The discipline of engineering encompasses a broad range of more specialized [[fields of engineering]], each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of [[applied mathematics]], applied science, and types of application. Engineering is often characterized as having four main branches: [[chemical engineering]], [[civil engineering]], [[electrical engineering]], and [[mechanical engineering]]. Some scientific subfields used by engineers include [[thermodynamics]], [[heat transfer]], [[fluid mechanics]], [[statics]], [[Dynamics (mechanics)|dynamics]], [[mechanics of materials]], [[kinematics]], [[electromagnetism]], [[materials science]], [[earth sciences]], and [[engineering physics]].{{cn|date=November 2023}}

[[Medical sciences]], such as [[medical microbiology]], [[Medication|pharmaceutical research]], and [[clinical virology]], are applied sciences that apply [[biology]] and [[chemistry]] to medicine.
