How should political scientists navigate the ethical and methodological quandaries associated with analyzing leaked classified documents and other nonconsensually acquired sources? Massive unauthorized disclosures may excite qualitative scholars with policy revelations and quantitative researchers with big-data suitability, but they are fraught with dilemmas that the discipline has yet to resolve. This paper critiques underspecified research designs and opaque references in the proliferation of scholarship with leaked materials, as well as incomplete and inconsistent guidance from leading journals. It identifies provenance as the primary concept for improved standards and reviews other disciplines’ approaches to this problem. It elaborates eight normative and evidentiary criteria for scholars by which to assess source legitimacy and four recommendations for balancing their trade-offs. Fundamentally, it contends that scholars need deeper reflection on source provenance and its consequences, more humility about whether to access new materials and what inferences to draw, and more transparency in citation and research strategies.

Creswell (2002) noted that quantitative research is the process of collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and writing the results of a study, while qualitative research is the approach to data collection, analysis, and report writing differing from the traditional, quantitative approaches. This paper provides a further distinction between quantitative and qualitative research methods. This paper also presents a summary of the different research methods to conduct research in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies.</span></span></p>

Facility Programming

The purpose of this paper is to make a case for the power of qualitative methodology as well as to demonstrate the contributions of qualitative methods in applied research and practice. As analytical material and as an illustration, we use a project where qualitative research methods produce more trustworthy and credible information about a phenomenon than did quantitative research methods. In the process of studying the market for research-based facility programming, we reflected on the heuristic potential and productivity of the methods that have been used traditionally. We made a comparative analysis of the survey and qualitative research designs when used for the study of situations that previously had not been researched or have rarely been researched. This study demonstrates a way of reasoning, grappling with the dilemma of “qualitative versus quantitative,” and reveals the decision making process, as well as some unexpected findings, in evaluating facility programming research. This paper contributes to promoting qualitative methodology in professional practice, in applied projects, and in industries that rely heavily on quantitative research designs.

Scientist Practitioner Model

The scientist-practitioner model remains valuable in improving the treatment of individual clients and in enhancing clinical science. One deterrent to its implementation, however, is the unsuitability of traditional research methods to clinical settings. Alternative research tools are presented, namely, practical ways to collect dependent measures, specification of treatment and measures of treatment integrity, and single-subject research designs.

The Relationship

Although academics can receive considerable training in selecting appropriate research designs, types of data to collect, and methods for analyzing data, as well as guidance on preparing scholarly manuscripts, there is a dearth of information on how to initiate and manage partnerships with organizations in order to conduct high-quality applied research, particularly when the research is quantitative in nature. In this article, we provide our own experience-based insights and recommendations to help academics more easily (a) initiate a research relationship with senior organizational leadership, (b) decide early whether to pursue or end a research collaboration with an organization, (c) keep the organization engaged during the study, and (d) maintain the relationship with the organization after data collection is complete. This information is proposed as a complement to traditional organizational research methods and as instrumental in the pursuit of research salient to the interests of organizational practitioners.

The use of triangulated research designs is becoming increasingly popular, particularly in applied sociology and evaluation research. There is a substantial amount of literature on triangulated research methods, particularly in the fields of social research methods and nursing. This paper examines the uses of the concept of triangulation in applied sociological research. It does so first by reviewing uses of the term in various applied contexts. We then turn to whether and how the information derived from multiple methods is actually integrated by the applied researcher. Finally, we discuss the importance of triangulation for the quality of work in the field of applied sociology.

The purpose of this study was to describe students' ability to find paragraph elements in the reading text. The research method used was a mix of research methods with explanatory sequential research designs. Data collection techniques consisted of tests, interviews, and documentation. The research object was 34 students. Students' ability to find the main sentence in reading texts; 1, 2, and 3 shows sufficient criteria (60.77%) of a maximum score of 100%. The ability of students to find the main ideas in reading texts 1, 2, and 3 showed very fewer criteria (0%) than a maximum score of 100%. Students' ability to find explanatory sentences in the reading texts 1, 2 and 3 with sufficient criteria (55, 01%) from a maximum score of 100%. In general, the students’ mistakes were because they lack attention to teacher explanations and practice questions in finding elements of the paragraph.

The central concern of this paper is to investigate students’ perceptions about the Research Methods Course taught in English at the Faculty of Sciences and Technologies, Tangier (FSTT). The study results reveal that students find research methods extremely valuable as there has been a genuine attempt to seriously participate in mini collective research projects under constant supervision by their mentor. Students expressed a predisposition toward research. This is merely indicative of their prior mindfulness of the paramount importance of research not only in their academic trajectory, but also in their professional endeavors. Students’ familiarity with and exposure to research terminologies, such as research proposal, literature review, citing and referencing, research designs, data collection methods, data analysis and discussion, and many more has been fundamentally crucial to preparing them to take part in research activities and practices. The researcher utilizes both quantitative and qualitative research analyses by dint of an online questionnaire and focus group sessions in order to be at a better position to investigate the issue at hand, and simultaneously create an opportunity of growth. Furthermore, it is conspicuous that the findings of the current study indicate more useful implications pertinent to students’ engagement, participation and commitment in the Research Methods Course.
