The literal meanings of Research are Search and retrieval of facts. There is a strong tradition of research or Literary research in Urdu. Although its earliest traces are found in ancient Urdu poets and Sir Syed, Hali, Shibli and some of their contemporaries are recognized among its founders, but in the real sense, its rise and evolution dates back to the twentieth century. On the contrary, in the twentieth century, it was given the status of a unique field of knowledge and rules and regulations were laid down for it. Among the scholars of this era, the names of Moulvi Abdul Haq, Hafiz and Jameel Jalibi etc.are noteworthy.

Jamil Jalibi's name is important in the history of Urdu literary in many ways. In addition to research, criticism, translation, linguistics, lexicography, terminology, he has a strong reputation in many fields of knowledge and literature and his achievements in every field are very important and significant. But even in all of them, his research status is more important and valuable. 

The credit for elevating Jalebi to this position goes to his own determination, hard work and perseverance.
