Research Execution This includes pilot testing the measurement instruments, data collection, and data analysis. :star:
-
Data Analysis: data is analyzed and interpreted for the purpose of drawing conclusions regarding the research questions of interest. :explode:

-
Epistemology:refers to our assumptions about the best way to study the world, e.g., should we use an objective or subjective approach to study social reality. Using these two sets of assumptions, we can categorize social science research as belonging to one of four categories :explode:
Research Proposal: detailing all of the decisions made in the preceding stages of the research process and the rationale behind each decision. This multi-part proposal should address what research questions you wish to study and why, the prior state of knowledge in this area, theories you wish to employ along with hypotheses to be tested, how to measure constructs, what research method to be employed and why, and desired sampling strategy :recycle:
Ontology.:refers to our assumptions about how we see the world, e.g., does the world consist mostly of social order or constant change. :checkered_flag:
