I tend to point at knowledge done a systematization of about the study. But there are the meaning that it is an example to the last to do study when it is knowledge, and is concrete and a definition by the purpose a lot. In addition, implication is different subjectively.

The name of the study keeps "the study" that is a suffix and expresses it, but there is the thing (an omitted thing) which "study" does not stick to a lot basically.

The study has been performed at various places if I looked historically. For example, list of private schools) of (→ Japan where a private school took development of the study on very much with educational institutions for han children in Japan of the Edo era. It is often that the study is led by the present when a university system is fixed by a university (a private university, a public university), but it can be performed at other various research institutes (with the public private institution).

There is a society related to it (nothing - a plural number), and generally participate in development of the study now if there is a certain study; of either society of study as for each scholar for the public concerned grasp the latest information of the study concerned and it is it with a member (a lot plural societies), and get the recognition by announcing the result of the study of own or by confirming the announcement of other scholars, and try to be able to help the study of own.

The provided knowledge may be announced by various methods such as the publication (including the publication to a bulletin / the memoirs of the university) with not only the announcement in the society but also various learned journals, the publication of the book (a single work / joint work) by investigation of the study. But, in the study of the natural science system in particular, the knowledge that was announced after number limited reputation passed through review with the learned journals which there is is recognized that most official, and the tendency that I compare it with the knowledge that is not so, and is trusted markedly is strong.
