Research methods

Language versions: fi en sv

Definition are organised and documented procedures for carrying out research and working with research data in order to generate research results76. Specific research methods often cover some part of the research life cycle from data collection to study design, access, data selection and manipulation, documentation and reporting of the research contexts, protocols and plans like interview guides, and process of analysis including concrete actions and reasoning. The openness of research methods covers the specific methods as well as their overall combination that forms the overall research workflow across the full life cycle of research. Examples of research methods include documented argumentation chains, systematic reviews, questionnaires, interview guides, research diaries, interview template, writing requests, dictation, coding, documentation of the setup (e.g. hardware setup), experimental materials (e.g. reagents), design aspects such as determination of sample size, data exclusion, manipulations, and all relevant measures, methods and docu- mentation of data collection (e.g. with non-open measurement software), lab notebooks, guidelines, technology, hardware, soft- ware, algorithms, AI methods, source code, workflows, scripts, protocols, and models. Research data and research methods are not always distinguishable. A method may be published in a peer reviewed venue, or otherwise accepted and adopted by a research community.
