A number of research have vs A number of research has

Both phrases are not correct. The correct form should be 'a number of research studies have.' 'Research' is an uncountable noun, so it does not take the plural form 'researches.' Instead, it should be followed by a plural noun like 'studies' to match the plural verb 'have.'
