The dictionary says they are synonyms so I guess so.

I consider research would be looking for keywords while analysis would be studying the keyword already chosen.

I use the term "keyword prospecting" for looking for keywords. I use "keyword analysis" as studying a keyword already chosen. I use "keyword research" broadly to encompass both of those activities.
