study vs research

In media, I often see the term "study", like a study revealed, a study found, a study showed... some findings. Can "study" be replaced with research? If not, how are these two words used generally in this sense?

To my best knowledge, one can replace 'study' with ' research.' They both have the same meaning.

study(from Cambridge Dic.) when someone examines a subject in detail in order to discover new information:

a five-year study of the relationship between wildlife and farming
Some studies have suggested a link between certain types of artificial sweetener and cancer.

research [Show phonetics]
noun [u]
a detailed study of a subject, especially in order to discover (new) information or reach a (new) understanding:
scientific/medical research

Yes, in most cases, the two words can be used in the same way.

We conducted a study to determine...
We conducted research to determine...

Sometimes the term research study is used. I do not understand why two synonyms are used. There must be a difference between them. Could anyone help me with this riddle?

I don't really think that it reflects much difference; it just puts more emphasis on the thoroughness of the work.
