Briefly explain the advantages of adopting this approach and any limitations of it.

Research Design/Methodology

The research is designed to answer your research questions. Different questions may require the use of different methods.

This section starts with an outline of the research approach adopted in the study. It might be relevant to consider the ‘pragmatist’ approach that combines both qualitative and quantitative methods for data collection and analysis (the deductive and inductive approach). Briefly explain the advantages of adopting this approach and any limitations of it.

Move on to discuss what data was collected for the study.

If quantitative data is collected, explain that it is secondary data and engage critically with the limitations of that. Outline the sources accessed and the sample size selected.

If qualitative data is collected, describe the methods used by the authors for the data collection .

This section has a sub-section discussing the methods adopted for data analysis, distinguishing between methods for analyzing the quantitative and the qualitative data and should be based on research methods literature.
