Morphology
The meaning of 'scientific research' is directly and compositionally derived from 'scientific' (connected to science) modifying 'research' (organized investigation), so a learner who knows both words can readily infer the phrase. This adjective+noun combination is a common, literal pattern across languages and contains no idiomatic shift, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Scientific research gives a simple image: scientific means careful study and research is like 'searching again', where people test, check, and look closely to find new facts. So the phrase means the careful study people do to 'find facts' in science.
