(12.5%): Education school deans and deans of graduate studies at education schools rated the academic excellence of other schools' graduate programs, taking into account their research programs, on a scale of 1 (marginal) to 5 (outstanding). They were instructed to mark "don't know" for ...

What are the criteria for validity and reliability in this type of research? How did you prevent bias from affecting your data?Quantitative exampleIn a quantitative experimental study, you may aim to produce generalizable knowledge about the causes of a phenomenon. This requires a carefully designed...
First, the "body of evidence" can be derived from a synthesis of pieces of evidence from the best research design, or it can be composed of evidence from multiple research methods and multiple sources. For example, when real-world evidence exists, ancient documentary evidence and expert opinion...
3.6.2 Qualitative Research According to Lancaster (2005) qualitative research is common in social and behavioural sciences and who want to understand human behaviour and functions.

In one of the previous sections, your methodological approach can either be quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods. Look for a methodology in research example that you can use as a reference....
Since the stress intensity factor is used as a parameter describing the stress field around the crack tip, it has to be calculated for crack lengths within the chosen interval from 0.1 to 6 mm. An example for calculated KI,max values for all chosen crack lengths present in the specimen ...
For example, the RDS-I estimator outperforms the RDS-II estimator when: [1] The seeds selected do not represent the underlying population; or [2] The sampling fraction is large and there is no differential recruitment. The RDS-II estimator can produce biased estimates in the presence of ...
It is often difficult for analysts and researchers to get access to high quality individual-level health data for research purposes. For example, despite funder and journal expectations for authors to share their data [1,2,3], an analysis of the success rates of getting individual-level data ...
