Methodology - Science method

Researchers may have varying opinions on building research models due to methodologies and objectives; therefore, which are the best steps we can employ to achieve a suitable research model?

what is the difference between objective methodology and subjective methodology?

I needed a detailed methodology for SEM-EDS analysis for Leaf and pollen!

To conduct a bibliometric analysis for a review paper in economic or social science, it is crucial to select the appropriate structure to address the research question. Among the available options, determining the more accurate research framework or conceptual framework is essential for achieving the desired results.

Hi! Plz answer

What are needs of Research in English language and literature? What are the methodologies for that?

Hi,

Planning to conduct a few case studies among diabetes participants.

Is there any methodology available for the same?

I came to know that Hank (Heterogeneous Agents New Keynesian) models are now in fashion. I skipped two papers on Hank. Those economists who work in Hank boast that this and that that were impossible in Rank (Representative Agent New Keynesian) models became possible. They may be right with this regards.

I have a question. What are the problems that are common to Hank and Rank models?

For example, Rank and Hank both assume the validity of central bank interest rate policy. In the case of Japanese economy, it was not very effective for about 30 years. The very validity of interest rate policy is questioned. Then, I want to know if there are good empirical works that estimated the dimension of peoples’ reaction (in the economy as a whole) to the change of interest rate, especially when the interest rate is very low (or nearly zero).

Hello folks. I've just received a request to review for "Methodology", which is part of the PsychOpen GOLD publishing platform, apparently. I've never heard of either, so I'm wondering if anyone can advise me on how legitimate (or not) the platform is.

Thanks,

I am working on Discussion chapter of my PhD thesis. My research is a phenomenological. I made a rich literature review on the phenomena (about 40 pages). However, in my discussion, when I build a dialogue between my findings and the literature, I find that some other good scholarly works can be introduced in the discussion. I am afraid if this is methodologically okay. I am thankful if someone could clarify this and provide a good reference if it is justifiable. Thank you.

Hello, I am currently conducting my undergraduate dissertation on exploring how Primary school teachers interpret 'disruptive' behaviour.

My main objectives are:

1) What do teachers define as disruptive behaviour?

2) What do they attribute disruptive behaviour to?

I have already conducted my research in a school setting, using Interpretive Phenomenology as my methodology and semi-structured interviews as my method. I interviewed 11 teachers and my questioned aligned with the chosen methodology - focusing on their experiences.

I have transcribed all of my data and am now ready to proceed with analysing it.

However, I'm a bit stuck! As a complete beginner I am only confidently familiar with thematic analysis. I've had a look at using IPA seems as it would completely align with my methodology, but there are a lot more steps to it. I am of course willing to complete said steps, but I am also conscious that my whole dissertation is only 8000 words, so I have that to take into account.

Also, I do need to find similarities and differences across the data set as a whole.

So, if anyone can give me any guidance, it would be appreciated!

Finally, am I 'allowed' to use a different method of analysis- such as thematic analysis when I have conducted IP as my methodology?

If so, and I do go with thematic analysis, would that mean that it was then not worthwhile me doing IP as my methodology?

So many questions! Please note, I am only an undergraduate student (level 6) so I am still very much learning. Thank you!

DOES THE WORLD HAVE A CLEARLY HOLISTIC FUTURE IN SCIENCE, SOCIETY, POLITICS AND PHILOSOPHY?

The world is used to thinking in terms of emotions and thoughts. But the stark difference between acts of emotion and acts of thought at the theoretical and practical levels can be bridged. The reason suggested is the following.

EVEN IF THERE IS NO ABSOLUTE CONTINUITY AND CONNECTION BETWEEN EACH ACT OF THOUGHT AND EACH ACT OF EMOTION, THERE EXISTS PARTIAL CONTINUITY BETWEEN ANY FINITE NUMBER OF SUCH PROCESSES, AND HENCE, ALL OF THEM ARE SOMEHOW CONNECTED. THIS CONNECTION IS CAUSAL, AND NOT MERELY MATHEMATICAL OR QUANTUM-PHYSICAL.

As a result, even esthetic acts can be connected to the acts of thinking in the sciences, philosophy, literature, music, etc., both theoretically and practically. Neuroscience too can profit out of this paradigm change.

Further, when emotions, imaginations, reasonings, etc. are brought under the ambit of acts of logical reasoning, what would change in the theoretical acts of logical conclusions in the sciences, philosophy, literature, and other disciplines?

Naturally, also the character of the persons who are supposed to express thoughts, emotions, etc. in various ways for the good of humankind will take precedence. This is what value epistemology insists on.

As a result, the personalities behind and within the sciences, philosophy, literature, music, other performing arts, and also in the fields of teaching and other services, will be influenced and transformed substantially.

DOES THE WORLD HAVE SUCH A FUTURE? IF IT HAS, IT IS BETTER TO PRECIPITATE SUCH A FUTURE.

I am struggling to get my work on Fermat's last theorem peer reviewed as it appears to be too simplistic/ not relevant to the mathematical journals I have so far contacted. However, being biased I think it's at least worthy of logical consideration and would appreciate any advice to this end.

For reference:

This investigation assumed Fermat’s conjecture to be incorrect, i.e. that his equation has a whole number solution to enable consideration of the rationality of the equation’s terms by constructing a 1st triangle with sides representing the whole number, i.e. rational digits, a, b and c, with perpendicular divisors, h1, h2 andh3, and a 2nd, ‘similar triangle’, (with identical angles) but two sides representing divisors h1, and h2. Logical analysis then showed that the perpendicular divisors are also rational digits. Hence the two right angle triangles formed by the divisor, h1, in the 1st triangle can be analysed as Pythagorean Triples since all 3 sides of each triangle being rational can be represented as a fraction p/q of two integers, as long as the denominator q is not equal to zero. Thus, by appropriate multiplication of a combination of all their denominators the sides of the two right angled triangles can be transformed into integers of a larger, scaled triangle, with the same mathematical properties as the original.

This was further interrogated by the use of a Mathcad computer program to determine a Difference Ratio, DR, based on variations between the trigonometric functions calculated as per Fermat’s equation and those as Pythagorean Triples. It was seen, as expected, that both sets of calculations gave identical results unless the integrity of the latter was maintained by limiting certain internal ratios to a given number of decimal points thereby ensuring their sides rationality. The Fermat’s set should automatically give a rational number solution if his conjecture is incorrect as per this supposition and the DR value should at some point equate to zero. However, graphical representation of these calculations shows that DR actually diverges away from zero, for any given set of analysis, with increases in both the Fermat index, n, and the number of decimal points. Hence, it is concluded that this investigation demonstrates, at least to engineering standards, that Fermat’s last theorem is correct, but also that this methodology could be a possible pathway to Fermat’s claimed ‘marvelous’ proof.

I would like to explore the issue of Business Problem-Solving Methods Through Scientific Methodologies. I know it sounds very strange and entirely theoretical, but I am currently enjoying reading scientific literature on this topic, and below is a draft Research Idea Abstract. By the way, I came to this topic through a course I developed and am enjoying reading in Kazakhstan – "Intro to Consulting Studies".

I have several questions:

1) Is the topic itself not strange? It seems to me to be a systematization of materials from different sources – essentially, the entire research is a deep literature review, and it feels like “research about research”. I see a lot of similar literature, but such an approach is intuitively very unusual to me.

2) Can research, in principle, lack a “knowledge gap” but have a “methodological gap”? Does this not violate the principle, essence, and nature of research?

I apologize if my questions are very superficial or, conversely, not at the level of an amateur researcher.

Dear experts,

Now I am writing my PhD research proposal, and I have a question regarding variables.

You see, I have two dependent variables in my research and one independent variable. My question is, is it ok to have two DVs in my research? If so, what kind of methodology should I use to justify it? (I think maybe AnoVa is cool?)

Thank you. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Those methodologies, we have to assume that are not the better ones, are being used to claim humans are 'making progresses' with regards the 2030 SDGs agenda.

As the ongoing human-sparked climate crisis and the huge Earth's ecology breakdowns seem unstoppable, scientists must ask what are the methodologies that are being used by other scientists to support those claims.

A generalized optimism keep asking time we (humans) do not have to fulfill those goals.

The 21st century science will be all about try to avoid a major planetary disruption sparked by just the biology-based dominant species.

We need metrics to avoid groundless discourses. That task will imply to create a system of systems regarding Earth observation in all scales.

It is relevant to say that the problem is not suitable for a technological perspective only... The problems we are facing are behavioral in nature.

I'm working on a project focused on identifying repeated musculoskeletal cases within a dataset of 3597 electronic medical records (EMRs) of various conditions. Given the limited filtering options available, I'm seeking advice on the most effective sampling methodology to accomplish this task.

Considering the large dataset and the specific focus on musculoskeletal cases, what sampling techniques or methodologies would you recommend for efficiently identifying and sorting out the repeated cases? Are there any particular statistical approaches or strategies that could help optimize this process while ensuring representative sampling?

Hello, everyone. My goal is to create a factor (latent variable) from four questions in a questionnaire, each of a different type. Two are rated on a scale of 0-10 and so can be thought of as interval, one is on a scale of 1-5 and so is ordinal but could be thought of as interval (according to the literature) and the last is on a scale of 0-3 and so has only four categories and is ordinal.

I am wondering how should I go about the correct methodology if I want to create a factor from these variables? Respectively, what estimation and calculation methods should I apply, e.g. in EFA, CFA, IRT. Alternatively, should I convert all the variables to the same scale through transformation?

Thank you all very much for your answers, advice and tips.

My research is based on hydroponics and soil-grown plants. The analytical analysis of plants is done through a similar methodology but I have too many results to be added in one paper. For example, just the hydroponics part is already at 12000 words with 10 figures. Soil-grown plants paper is even lengthier. So, I was wondering if I could use the same methodology for the soil-grown plants with of course slight differences in soil analysis. If yes, then do I rephrase the methodology or do I add a reference to my first paper?

Greeting everyone,

I wanted to ask for elucidations regarding EMA and the statistics behind it.

For a background, I was thinking of developing a study in which 2 groups of people will be assessed by means of EMA for 4 days in three different moments, aka week 1, week 3 and week 5. The data collected should be related to emotional responses and will be assessed by self-rated questions on EMA multiple times a day. The sample size should be round 40-50, divided in two groups

I am not familiar with EMA studies, for what I've seen there're many methodological issues regarding how to analyze the datas.

For one, in a setting such as the one exposed, given the multiple levels of measures (3 times for two groups), could aggregating the data for the three different times (ie means of emotional reactions) and then analyze by mean of a repeated measure ANOVA be a good solution? Or is it absolutely necessary to employ a multilevel model? I've seen studies employing differently both t-test mean ratings or multilevel model approaches, but I'm not really familiar with multilevel models and nearly all have been employed in more simple settings (ie single time or two times but single group).

On a similar note, in accounting for individual variability, I've seen using both ICC or mean squared for successive differences (MSSD) as approaches used. In particular, MSSD seems similar to aggregating responses as an approach. Should I use both or is one superior to the other? And why so?

I hope I've been able to expose my doubts in a comprehensive manner, thank you beforehand.

The binary variable in question is my main dependent variable and the categorical variable is my independent variable. I have explored methodologies such as Pearson correlation, tetrachoric correlation and point biserial correlation but I am rather confused as to which will be appropriate for these variable types.

Whenever I like an article in which regression analysis is used, I ask the authors if they can share some raw (!) data, because I'm writing a book and software about this topic, and I want to include very diverse real examples.

Are people affraid that a new light on their data might disrupt their conclusions?

I thought openness was considered a virtue in the world of science?

But if I want to see articles that include data, I have to dig in the very old ones!

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on my bachelor thesis and struggle with a concept.

The goal of the thesis is to analyse the potential benefits and risks for a data exchange Platform for SMEs in the wood supply chain.

My strategy way to conduct a „literature review“ to find potential use cases in both the wood industry but also potential applications from other sectors that can be adopted.

Additionally, I would like to conduct Semi-structured Interviews with industry experts to validate/invalidate the findings and extend the knowledge pool.

My question now is, what kind of methodology is that? I often read that a literature review is not a methodology but what else is it called.

I would appreciate any advice on how such research Design is called or can be adjusted to fit the project goals.

Thank you very much in advance.

The above questions are necessary when it comes to modelling description under the methodology section.

Greetings everyone.

During my master's research, I focused on exploring the potential of a specific bacterial strain to produce antibacterial compounds. To achieve this, I used the technique of liquid-liquid fractionation (Extraction) using butanol for the bacterial culture broth. Then, I subjected the supernatant to freeze-drying and further dissolved a portion of the butanol crude extract in methanol for analysis using GC-MS. The results revealed the presence of two secondary metabolite compounds, notably beta-carboline and cyclo-l-proline-l-leucine.

I investigated the genes and enzymes of the bacteria, and it appears that the genes and enzymes that synthesize beta-carboline and related compounds were not present in the bacteria. I have the genomic sequence date of the bacteria. I have searched the genome database to identify any genes or enzymes associated with the production of beta-carboline. Unfortunately, no such gene or enzyme seems to be directly related to the synthesis of beta-carboline in this bacterium. Also, my investigations regarding the McbB enzyme (which is an enzyme that works for the production of beta-carboline) have unfortunately provided no evidence of its presence in my bacterial strain.

So my question Is there an alternative methodology or approach by which I could clarify the mechanisms used by this bacterial strain to produce these compounds? For instance, the synthesis of beta-carboline usually involves the enzymatic action of tryptophan decarboxylase, which catalyzes the conversion of tryptophan to tryptamine. However, my bacterial strain seemingly lacks this specific enzyme. I am hoping that if any practical strategies or methodologies exist, I will try them as a first step to finding some answers for the synthetic pathway.

I sincerely appreciate any insights or directions you can provide.

Dear community,

I want to ask you a methodological/statistical question.

We performed ten independent hierarchical linear regressions divided by gender for an article writing (N=1502 participants, 39.9% men and 60.1% women).
