Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on the different types of research studies that researchers can conduct, reveals the best type of research study to conduct, demystifies the benefits of conducting research studies, and delineates the challenges of conducting research studies. There are an exorbitant amount of disparate types of research studies that a researcher is at liberty to conduct. Conducting a research study can require a substantial amount of hard work on the researcher’s end. Conducting a research study can also be a highly time-consuming pursuit on the researcher’s end. The amount of financial resources that are expended to conduct a research study can vary from research study to research study. Conducting a research study can yield high costs primarily because prospective participants are reticent about partaking in a research study unless they will be duly remunerated for participating in a research study. Offering prospective participants sizeable compensation for partaking in a research study entices people to partake in a research study. Partaking in research studies can present brobdingnagian inconveniences for participants, especially in contexts in which participants are expected to drive to distant research facilities in order to partake in research studies over a prolonged period of time. There are a myriad of disparate types of research studies that can be conducted in order to uncover new research findings that can further expand the vast libraries of scholarly literature if these new research findings are reported in the articles of the vast libraries of scholarly literature. Research studies should aim to not only address the overarching research questions, but should also aim to provide insightful contributions to the vast libraries of scholarly literature. Research studies, for instance, that provide qualitative insights and quantitative insights appertaining to a phenomenon are able to enrich the understanding of a phenomenon among readers and are able to usher in insightful contributions to the vast libraries of scholarly literature if these research findings are reported in the articles of the vast libraries of scholarly literature. Some of the different types of research studies that can be conducted by researchers encompass observational studies, correlational studies, quasi-experimental studies, and experimental studies. Case studies are popular type of observational study. When conducting observational studies, researchers make empirical observations about participants. When conducting observational studies, researchers also desist from attempting to influence the participants of the observational study. In other words, when conducting observational studies, researchers refrain from interacting with the participants of the observational study. This is because researchers prefer for their empirical observations about participants to be natural and not have them be affected by a researcher’s interactions with the participants of the observational study. Case studies are able to shed insight about cases. In other words, a case study will often delineate changes in a situation over a prolonged period of time that affects a cohort of people. A case study is able to report a meticulously detailed account appertaining to a specific phenomenon. Throughout the lengthy time window that the case study is being conducted, changes can occur to a situation that affect a cohort of people over a prolonged period of time. These changes to a situation that transpire over a prolonged period of time that affect a cohort of people are expected to be reported in a case study. Readers of case studies are interested in learning how changes to a situation that transpire overtime affect a cohort of people. Phenomena that transpire in real-life can be the subject matters for case studies to shed insights on in contexts in which they affect a cohort of people as they change overtime. Case studies can alternatively shed insights on a person’s development over a prolonged period of time. Throughout the lengthy time window that the case study is being conducted, a person can change over a prolonged period of time as he undergoes developmental changes. A person’s developmental changes over a prolonged period of time is expected to be reported in a case study in contexts in which the case study aims to track a person’s developmental changes overtime. Readers of case studies are interested in learning how a person’s developmental changes can affect his life overtime.

Download or read book The Different Types Of Research Methods That Can Be Utilized To Collect Data For A Research Study And The Different Types Of Research Methodologies That Can Be Leveraged To Conduct A Research Study written by Dr. Harrison Sachs and published by The Epic Books Of Dr. Harrison Sachs. This book was released on 2022-07-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on the different types of research methods that can be utilized to collect data for a research study, demystifies the best type of research method to utilize for collecting data for a research study, reveals the different types of research methodologies that can be leveraged to conduct a research study, and delineates the best type of research methodology to leverage for conducting a research study. There are a myriad of disparate research methods that can be employed to garner data when conducting a research study. The different types of research methods employed will vastly vary from research study to research study. The research study’s methodology and the research study’s research design will have bearing on influencing which specific research methods that the researcher will leverage to be able to garner data for his research study. The research methods employed by the researcher have bearing on influencing the meticulousness of the research findings of the research study. In other words, certain research methods are more efficacious at garnering comprehensive data than other types of research methods. A researcher is at liberty to employ a multitude of research methods to garner data when conducting a research study if he chooses to do so. It can be advantageous for a researcher to utilize a multitude of research methods to garner data when conducting a research study since it cannot only allow him to garner a larger pool of data, but can also allow the data to be derived from additional primary sources. The usage of triangulation in a research study allows a researcher to employ multiple research methods to garner data when conducting a research study which not only allows him to have a more sizeable pool of data to meticulously analyze, but also can render his research findings all the more valid than they otherwise would be if his research study lacked any cross-validation of the research findings due to the research study’s data only being collected via the usage of one research method. Data collected via two or more research methods that is meticulously analyzed and subsequently converted into information can more accurately shed insights about a phenomenon than data collected via one research method that is meticulously analyzed and subsequently converted into information. Researchers should aim to elicit research findings that are reliable and valid when they are conducting a research study. The types of research methods that are employed to conduct a research study should be optimally befitting for being utilized in a research study based on its research inquiries, research design, and research methodology. The research design of a research study simply refers to the plan that the researcher will utilize to be able to address the research inquiries for the research study. Addressing the research inquiries for the research study involves garnering data and then subsequently meticulously analyzing the data and interpreting the data to be able to draw forth research findings that can inform the answers to the research inquiries. Research studies should yield research finding that are comprehensive enough to inform answers to the research inquiries. A research study should not have a subpar research design. A research study should not egregiously fail to draw forth research findings that can inform the answers to the research inquiries. A research study should be able to not only aim to elicit research findings that can inform the answers to the research inquiries, but should also aim to shed light on a phenomenon and usher in insightful contributions to the vast libraries of scholarly literature. Research methods provide researchers with methods that they can implement to garner data about research topics. Potent research methods provide ways for researchers to be able to expeditiously garner useful data about research topics. Once data has been garnered for a research study, the researcher will meticulously analyze the data and convert it into information that can help the researcher to address his research inquiries. The research findings of the research study can also allow the researcher to ascertain if his hypotheses are true or false in contexts in which the researcher is engaging in hypothesis testing for his research study.
Download or read book The SAGE Encyclopedia of Communication Research Methods written by Mike Allen and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 2013 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication research is evolving and changing in a world of online journals, open-access, and new ways of obtaining data and conducting experiments via the Internet. Although there are generic encyclopedias describing basic social science research methodologies in general, until now there has been no comprehensive A-to-Z reference work exploring methods specific to communication and media studies. Our entries, authored by key figures in the field, focus on special considerations when applied specifically to communication research, accompanied by engaging examples from the literature of communication, journalism, and media studies. Entries cover every step of the research process, from the creative development of research topics and questions to literature reviews, selection of best methods (whether quantitative, qualitative, or mixed) for analyzing research results and publishing research findings, whether in traditional media or via new media outlets. In addition to expected entries covering the basics of theories and methods traditionally used in communication research, other entries discuss important trends influencing the future of that research, including contemporary practical issues students will face in communication professions, the influences of globalization on research, use of new recording technologies in fieldwork, and the challenges and opportunities related to studying online multi-media environments. Email, texting, cellphone video, and blogging are shown not only as topics of research but also as means of collecting and analyzing data. Still other entries delve into considerations of accountability, copyright, confidentiality, data ownership and security, privacy, and other aspects of conducting an ethical research program. Features: 652 signed entries are contained in an authoritative work spanning four volumes available in choice of electronic or print formats. Although organized A-to-Z, front matter includes a Reader’s Guide grouping entries thematically to help students interested in a specific aspect of communication research to more easily locate directly related entries. Back matter includes a Chronology of the development of the field of communication research; a Resource Guide to classic books, journals, and associations; a Glossary introducing the terminology of the field; and a detailed Index. Entries conclude with References/Further Readings and Cross-References to related entries to guide students further in their research journeys. The Index, Reader’s Guide themes, and Cross-References combine to provide robust search-and-browse in the e-version.

Download or read book Reproducibility and Replicability in Science written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-10-20 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the pathways by which the scientific community confirms the validity of a new scientific discovery is by repeating the research that produced it. When a scientific effort fails to independently confirm the computations or results of a previous study, some fear that it may be a symptom of a lack of rigor in science, while others argue that such an observed inconsistency can be an important precursor to new discovery. Concerns about reproducibility and replicability have been expressed in both scientific and popular media. As these concerns came to light, Congress requested that the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conduct a study to assess the extent of issues related to reproducibility and replicability and to offer recommendations for improving rigor and transparency in scientific research. Reproducibility and Replicability in Science defines reproducibility and replicability and examines the factors that may lead to non-reproducibility and non-replicability in research. Unlike the typical expectation of reproducibility between two computations, expectations about replicability are more nuanced, and in some cases a lack of replicability can aid the process of scientific discovery. This report provides recommendations to researchers, academic institutions, journals, and funders on steps they can take to improve reproducibility and replicability in science.
