If the work is simply using real locations as backgrounds, consider using RealPlaceBackground. If the work contains both real backgrounds and other research, then by all means include it here as well.

Compare DoingItForTheArt, NarrativeFiligree (both also about going above and beyond in regards to production quality), LampshadedTheObscureReference, SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome, WriteWhatYouKnow (when a work showcases a lot of in-depth information as a result of the creator having prior knowledge of the subject as opposed to needing to research it) and any ArtisticLicense.

This often happens in older, [[MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness harder]] SciFi books, wherein the authors try to keep the science as consistent as possible with currently-understood scientific theories. Of course, since ScienceMarchesOn, this may date the book badly.

->''"A writer cannot do too much research... though sometimes it is a mistake to try and cram too much of what you learned into your novel. Research gives you a foundation to build on, but in the end it's only the story that matters."''

Note that [[TropesAreTools this is only as good as the writer makes it]]. Just because you did the research, doesn't mean it adds to the story, especially if the research is shoehorned in just to show off. Likewise, sometimes it's better just to make things up. Remember that one of the reasons why the SciFiGhetto existed in the first place was because authors of old (and some even now) overused this trope, creating walls of InfoDump instead of stories. If people wanted to have a lecture in science, they would grab scientific essays in the first place.
