Quantitative Design

When you are planning on a study, you always want to ensure that the evidence obtained enables you to address the research problem effectively, logically, and as unambiguously as possible. If you begin the investigation too early, without thinking critically about what information is required, the overall problem may not be adequately addressed and the validity of the study will be undermined. Research design integrates all elements needed for the study to maximize validity and balance feasibility prior to beginning the data collection. Our quantitative design planning includes descriptive and experimental designs to provide you a blueprint for the collection, measurement, and analysis of data.

Quantitative Planning

pexels-meeting-in-conference-room-design-89What is it? Quantitative design planning is systematically and comprehensively designing your research in order to generate evidence to answer research questions. The end goal of research is to solve a problem and fill a gap – therefore, problem identification is the starting point. The identified research problem should always come from a thorough understanding of the literature. Research questions and hypotheses should properly align with the research problem.

Research design planning involves thinking through the most appropriate methodology to collect data. Cultural contexts need to be considered, which include background beliefs and practices that guide behaviors. You also want to ensure that the design is feasible, that participants can complete the project and results generalized to the larger population.  Our consultants can help you identify the problem, refine the research question(s), and provide a systematic plan for your design.  

How can we help you?
  • Initial Literature Review and gap identification
  • Provide guidance on seeking collaborations
  • Refine research questions and hypothesis
  • Align research problem, goals/purposes, research question, and hypothesis
  • Evaluate the feasibility of a research plan
  • Assess replication and generalization
  • Balance design effort and resources (time/money)

FAQ About Quantitative Planning

e

How can we combine offline and online data collection?

Combining offline and online data collection is normally straightforward provided that the collection mechanisms are compatible. Data is often collected in a CSV or other standard formatting procedure that can be exported to Excel or another software packaging system that can be cleaned and analyzed.

How do we know if we are missing out on major data opportunities?

Everyone knowingly or unknowingly misses out on major data opportunities. Determining the usefulness and costs of acquiring or ignoring data opportunities generally requires a multidisciplinerian team of individuals with diverse research background and connection to data systems and sources.

e

What primary or secondary sources of data could we be accessing?

There are many academic, philanthropic, governmental, and professional sources of data that are available for free, at low costs as well as higher costs. Understanding the benefit, need, and fit for these alternate data sources will help determine which sources can be practical and profitable for your needs.

e

What existing data reviews could save us time and money?

Data reviews will generally save time and money that reasonably and affordably replicate research that is helpful, necessary, or enlightening in areas of a program or project that will impede, expedite, or ignore critical components of whatever you are trying to do.

e

How can predictive analytics or machine learning benefit our work?

Predictive analytics and machine learning take information that is readily available to you and make predictions about future events based upon your data, existing theories, algorithms, and probability. These approaches may help identify future opportunities and threats in ways that allow you to have as much control and time to react to imporant events as possible.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I was referred to Elite Research from a friend, who is a Doctoral student from another university. He received excellent assistance with compilation of his statistics and assistance with formatting the stats. I signed up for the same services and also APA formatting and proofing. Elite gave me a written estimate up front for various services, so I could chose what fit my needs and budget. The turnaround time was incredibly fast! My classmates were extremely impressed by the professional quality of my paper and have signed up also.
