Various techniques and tools used to gather data, such as surveys, interviews, observations, experiments, or archival research.
Methods used to analyze and interpret research data, such as statistical analysis, thematic analysis, content analysis, or discourse analysis.
The extent to which a research study measures what it intends to measure (validity) and produces consistent and stable results (reliability).
The principles and guidelines that researchers must follow to ensure the protection of participants' rights, privacy, and well-being during the research process.
The process of preparing a detailed plan or proposal for a research study, including the research question, objectives, methodology, and expected outcomes.
A critical analysis and synthesis of existing research and scholarly literature relevant to a particular research topic or question.
The process of developing testable statements or predictions about the relationship between variables in a research study.
The concepts or characteristics that can vary or change in a research study, and the methods used to quantify or assess them.
The graphical representation of research data, such as charts, graphs, or diagrams, to facilitate understanding and interpretation.

The extent to which a research study accurately measures or reflects the intended concepts or phenomena, ensuring the credibility and trustworthiness of research findings.
The consistency and stability of research results or findings, ensuring that similar results would be obtained if the study were replicated or repeated.
The constraints, weaknesses, or shortcomings of a research study that may affect the generalizability, validity, or reliability of the findings.
Systematic errors or distortions in research design, data collection, or data analysis that may lead to inaccurate or misleading results.
The process of selecting a subset of individuals or cases from a larger population to participate in a research study, aiming to ensure representativeness and minimize bias.
The tools, measures, or devices used to collect data in a research study, such as questionnaires, interview guides, observation protocols, or physiological sensors.
The process of gathering data from participants or sources, using various methods and techniques, to address the research objectives or answer the research questions.
The process of organizing, interpreting, and making sense of research data, using appropriate statistical or qualitative analysis techniques.
The results, outcomes, or discoveries obtained from a research study, often presented in the form of tables, figures, or textual descriptions.
The final summary or interpretation of research findings, addressing the research objectives or answering the research questions, often accompanied by recommendations or implications.
