How do you know if a piece of research work is good or not? how are they evaluated?

There are a lot of methods in considering a research method, if it is good or not. These are the following:

1.Define and articulate a research question (formulate a research hypothesis)

2.Identify possible sources of information in many types and formats

3.Judge the scope of the project

4.Reevaluate the research question based on the nature and extent of information available and the parameters of the research project.

5.Select the most appropriate investigative methods (surveys, interviews, experiments) and research tools (periodical indexes, databases, Web sites)

6.Plan the research project

7.Retrieve information using a variety of methods (draw on a repetoire of skills)

8.Refine the search strategy as necessary

9.Write and organize useful notes and keep track of sources

10.Evaluate sources using appropriate criteria

11.Synthesize, analyze, and integrate information sources and prior knowledge

12.Revise hypothesis as necessary

13.Use information effectively for a specific purpose

14.Understand such issues as plagiarism, ownership of information (implications of copyright to some extent), and costs of information

15.Cite properly and give credit for sources of ideas

This also good that the author cited some guidelines to understand how get into a good research paper. On the other hand, still it doesn't satisfied the given question.
