About

    A metaphor is a figure of speech that refers to something as being something else in order to highlight similarities between the two entities. In research, the use of metaphors can help simplify complex concepts, create vivid descriptions, and stimulate new ways of thinking about a particular topic. Metaphors are commonly used in research to explain abstract or complicated concepts in more understandable terms, aiding in communication and clarity of ideas. Researchers may also use metaphors to make their findings more relatable and engaging to a broader audience.
