It was in the text which I was reading. It gets some 17k Google hits. It is clearly a + b, but there are many examples in the main dictionary of similar combinations which end in "研究". Also it is a fairly standard term in connection with undertaking surveys as well as other exercises. You may consider it is worth promoting.
