Research
Is it correct to use few?
-There are __ research about this. I am not sure, mainly owing to the nature of the word, because in dictionaries we find researches, but when it comes to having to use a quantifier, we have no guidance from dictionaries. |

"There are few research about this." is not correct.
I have never heard the word "researches" as a noun. "He researches fish" -- that's a verb. There is little research about this. (correct) There isn't much research about this. (sounds better) |
