English term or phrase: to conduct original research
Kontext: Es geht um eine kürzlich veröffentlichte Langzeitstudie (und die daraus resultierende heftige Debatte unter Befürwortern und Gegnern der Gentechnik) von Professor Seralini, derzufolge die Einnahme genveränderter Nahrungsmittel bei Ratten zu erhöhten Krebsraten führt.


Dr Clark noted the use of "third party authorities" to criticise the study. This is a respected person whose views on a controversial subject are accepted simply because of their position. "Most of the academic and institutional commentators participating in the attack on Seralini's work have never ***conducted original research*** into the health effects of GM crops," writes Dr Clark. "Nonetheless, the authority of their titles accords the aura of impartial purveyors of sound, scientific reason."


Verstehe ich das richtig so:

Dr. Clark wies zudem darauf hin, dass vermeintlich unabhängige Fachleute herangezogen würden, um die Studie zu kritisieren. „Die meisten Kritiker auf wissenschaftlicher und institutioneller Seite, die an den Angriffen gegen die Arbeit von Seralini beteiligt sind, haben selbst noch nie irgendwelche ***eigenen Forschungen*** über die gesundheitlichen Folgen von gentechnisch veränderten Kulturpflanzen durchgeführt“, schreibt Dr. Clark. „Dennoch nutzen diese Kritiker die Autorität ihrer Titel, um sich als unabhängige Verfechter wissenschaftlicher Prinzipien darzustellen.“ (?)

Explanation:
Original research

Original research is research that is not exclusively based on a summary, review or synthesis of earlier publications on the subject of research. This material is of a primary source character. The purpose of the original research is to produce new knowledge, rather than to present the existing knowledge in a new form (e.g., summarized or classified).[21][22]
