He is researching into ...

Hello,
could you tell me whether I used the phrase "research into" correctly in this sentence: "David is researching into computer technology"?

Thank you.

Hi,

No. "David is researching computer technology." You need a direct object.

Hi Clive,

Can't I use "research into" in any context?

Hi again,

Can't I use "research into" in any context? Not as a verb.

But you can say, as a noun, 'He is conducting research into/on computer technology'.

Best wishes, Clive
