Research Methodology
Research Methodology discusses and explains the data collection and analysis
methods you used in your research. A key part of your thesis, dissertation, or research
paper, the methodology chapter explains what you did and how you did it, allowing
readers to evaluate the reliability and validity of your research and your dissertation
topic.
It should include:
It gives your research legitimacy and situates it within your field, and also gives your readers
a place to refer to if they have any questions or critiques in other sections.
Once you have introduced your reader to your methodological approach, you should share
full details about your data collection methods.
Quantitative methods
In order to be considered generalizable, you should describe quantitative research methods in
enough detail for another researcher to replicate your study.
Here, explain how you operationalized your concepts and measured your variables. Discuss
your sampling method or inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as any tools, procedures,
and materials you used to gather your data.
Surveys
You may also want to include the full questionnaire as an appendix. This way, your
readers can see exactly how your questions and data align.
Experiments
Share full details of the tools, techniques, and procedures you used to conduct your
experiment.
Existing data
Explain how you gathered and selected the material (such as datasets or archival data) that
you used in your analysis.
Qualitative methods
In qualitative research, methods are often more flexible and subjective. For this reason, it’s
crucial to robustly explain the methodology choices you made.
Be sure to discuss the criteria you used to select your data, the context in which your research
was conducted, and the role you played in collecting your data (e.g., were you an active
participant, or a passive observer?)
Participant observation
Describe where, when, and how you conducted the observation or ethnography.
• What group or community did you observe? How long did you spend there?
• How did you gain access to this group? What role did you play in the community?
• How long did you spend conducting the research? Where was it located?
• How did you record your data (e.g., audiovisual recordings, note-taking)?
Existing data
Explain how you selected case study materials for your analysis.
Here, a returning customer was defined as someone who usually bought products at
least twice a week from the store.
Surveys were used to select participants. Interviews were conducted in a small office
next to the cash register and lasted approximately 20 minutes each. Answers were
recorded by note-taking, and seven interviews were also filmed with consent. One
interviewee preferred not to be filmed.
Mixed methods
Mixed methods research combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. If a standalone
quantitative or qualitative study is insufficient to answer your research question, mixed
methods may be a good fit for you.
Note: Keep in mind that mixed methods research doesn’t just mean collecting both types of data.
Rather, it encompasses careful consideration and integration of both types of data into robust and
strong conclusions.
Mixed methods are less common than standalone analyses, largely because they require a
great deal of effort to pull off successfully. If you choose to pursue mixed methods, it’s
especially important to robustly justify your methods.
Quantitative methods
In quantitative research, your analysis will be based on numbers. In your methods section,
you can include:
• How you prepared the data before analyzing it (e.g., checking for missing data, removing
outliers, transforming variables)
• Which software you used (e.g., SPSS, Stata or R)
• Which statistical tests you used (e.g., two-tailed t test, simple linear regression)
Before analysis, the gathered data was prepared. The dataset was checked for missing
data and outliers. For this, the “outlier labeling rule” was used. All values outside the
calculated range were considered outliers (Hoaglin & Iglewicz, 1987). The data were then
analyzed using a two-way ANOVA with statistical software SPSS.
Qualitative methods
In qualitative research, your analysis will be based on language, images, and observations
(often involving some form of textual analysis).
• Content analysis: Categorizing and discussing the meaning of words, phrases and sentences
• Thematic analysis: Coding and closely examining the data to identify broad themes and
patterns
• Discourse analysis: Studying communication and meaning in relation to their social context
Mixed methods
Mixed methods combine the above two research methods, integrating both qualitative and
quantitative approaches into one coherent analytical process.
Step 4: Evaluate and justify the methodological choices you made
Above all, your methodology section should clearly make the case for why you chose the
methods you did. This is especially true if you did not take the most standard approach to
your topic. In this case, discuss why other methods were not suitable for your objectives, and
show how this approach contributes new knowledge or understanding.
In any case, it should be overwhelmingly clear to your reader that you set yourself up for
success in terms of your methodology’s design. Show how your methods should lead to
results that are valid and reliable, while leaving the analysis of the meaning, importance, and
relevance of your results for your discussion section.
Tip
You can acknowledge limitations or weaknesses in the approach you chose, but justify
why these were outweighed by the strengths. Here are a few examples:
Mixed methods: Despite issues systematically comparing differing types of data, a solely
quantitative study would not sufficiently incorporate the lived experience of each
participant, while a solely qualitative study would be insufficiently generalizable.
The methodology section should clearly show why your methods suit your objectives and
convince the reader that you chose the best possible approach to answering your problem
statement and research questions.
Tip
Our free citation generators can help you create MLA citations and APA citations.
Consider how much information you need to give, and avoid getting too lengthy. If you are
using methods that are standard for your discipline, you probably don’t need to give a lot of
background or justification.
Regardless, your methodology should be a clear, well-structured text that makes an argument
for your approach, not just a list of technical details and procedures.
What is sampling?
Data
Data is different types of information usually formatted in a particular manner. All
software is divided into two major categories: programs and data. We already know
what data is now, and programs are collections of instructions used to manipulate
data.
We use data science to make it easier to work with data. Data science is defined as a
field that combines knowledge of mathematics, programming skills, domain expertise,
scientific methods, algorithms, processes, and systems to extract actionable
knowledge and insights from both structured and unstructured data, then apply the
knowledge gleaned from that data to a wide range of uses and domains.
Types and Uses of Data
Growth in the field of technology, specifically in smartphones has led to text, video,
and audio is included under data plus the web and log activity records as well. Most
of this data is unstructured.
The term Big Data is used in the data definition to describe the data that is in the
petabyte range or higher. Big Data is also described as 5Vs: variety, volume, value,
veracity, and velocity. Nowadays, web-based eCommerce has spread vastly, business
models based on Big Data have evolved, and they treat data as an asset itself. And
there are many benefits of Big Data as well, such as reduced costs, enhanced
efficiency, enhanced sales, etc.
The meaning of data has grown beyond the processing of data In the field of computer
applications. For instance, we’ve already touched upon what data science is.
Accordingly, finance, demographics, health, and marketing also have different
definitions of data, which ultimately results in different answers to the persistent
question, “What is data?”. Let us figure out how do we typically store data first.
Computers represent data (e.g., text, images, sound, video), as binary values that
employ two numbers: 1 and 0. The smallest unit of data is called a “bit,” and it
represents a single value. Additionally, a byte is eight bits long. Memory and storage
are measured in units such as megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes, and
exabytes. Data scientists keep coming up with newer, larger data measurements as the
amount of data our society generates continues to grow.
Data can be stored in file formats using mainframe systems such as ISAM and
VSAM, though there are other file formats for data conversion, processing, and
storage, like comma-separated values. These data formats are currently used across a
wide range of machine types, despite more structured-data-oriented approaches
gaining a greater foothold in today’s IT world.
The field of data storage has seen greater specialization develop as the database, the
database management system, and more recently, relational database technology, each
made their debut and provided new ways to organize information.
Data Analysis
Although there are a few different ways to discover patterns in printed data, a
word-based strategy is the most depended on and broadly utilized global
method for research and analysis of data. Significantly, the process of data
analysis in qualitative research is manual. Here the specialists, as a rule, read
the accessible information and find repetitive or frequently utilized words.
• Data Validation
• Data Editing
• Data Coding
Technique
A technique is a method of doing some task or performing something. Your
technique for opening drinks might be to twist the top off with your teeth. If
so, your dentist better have a good tooth-repair technique. The noun technique
can also refer to someone’s skillfulness with the fundamentals of a particular
task.

Data Representation:
Data representation is a technique for analysing numerical data. The
relationship between facts, ideas, information, and concepts is depicted in a
diagram via data representation. It is a fundamental learning strategy that is
simple and easy to understand. It is always determined by the data type in a
specific domain. Graphical representations are available in many different
shapes and sizes.
When the COVID-19 began to cause lockdowns across the globe, there was a
substantial slowdown in sales in the India two wheeler market.
The two wheelers are light in weight, have a sleek design and are easier to
maneuver. They are easy to commute in heavy traffic or in congested lanes,
which enables you to reach the destination on time. Owing to its
maneuverability, it is easier to park the vehicle and it also occupies less space.
The speed at which one can commute is faster due to its pickup; it also
provides a thrill quotient and is more adventurous. Thus, during the forecast
period, the expansion of the two-wheeler segment is anticipated to be aided by
the speed and maneuverability provided by two wheelers
The demand for electric vehicles is growing at a very rapid pace because
electric vehicles use renewable resources of energy and are contributing to the
significant growth of the two-wheeler segment. We have seen that in the year
2022, electric vehicle sales increased at a Y-o-Y of 60% and are expected to
increase at a CAGR of 27% till 2028. The government has also launched the
Fame-II Policy, which aims to promote the growth and adoption of electric
vehicles. The battery swapping policy was introduced by the government to
build up the infrastructure for electric vehicles. The government is also giving
subsidies on electric vehicles and tax exemptions on purchasing electric
vehicles.
The main factor driving the increasing demand for two wheelers is that it is
more affordable than other vehicle types. The ease of the financing option
attracts customers with lower income levels, and the dream of owning a
vehicle can now be easily fulfilled. Apart from affordability, another factor
driving the increase in two wheeler purchases is cost-effectiveness; with fuel
prices on the rise, the two-wheeler will remain affordable for Indian families.
Moreover, the cost of maintenance of two wheelers is also much lower as
compared to passenger cars, and they also provide better mileage than
passenger cars. Even The exemption from the toll tax on two wheelers adds to
its cost effectiveness factor.
New Technology
With the advancement in technology, the two wheelers are upgraded time to
time-to-time to beat their competitor. The anti-braking system technology
which was introduced in India in 2019 that help vehicles from skidding in
panic braking. It also improves the vehicle steerability while braking and
reduces stopping distance. The slippery clutch technology ensures that your
vehicle does not shake or lose traction while slowing down, and it also
protects the gear box of motorcycles. The connectivity feature is also
attracting a lot of customers. Features such as navigation, Bluetooth, and
mobile charging port enables the two wheelers to be smarter.
Safety Concerns
In two wheelers, one of the major concerns is the safety of the passengers
riding the vehicle.
Around 44% of two wheeler accidents in India happen due to the poor
infrastructure of the road, speeding, and not obeying the traffic rules and
regulations. Even weather conditions have an impact on two wheeler accident,
like in rainy seasons skidding of vehicle may lead to fatal accident.
