What Is Documentation?

 Is acknowledging sources that we have used in our research.

 Documentation is a set of documents provided on paper,
or online, or on digital or analog media, such as audio
tape or CDs. Examples are user guides, white papers, on-line
help, quick-reference guides. It is becoming less common to
see paper (hard-copy) documentation. Documentation is
distributed via websites, software products, and other on-line
applications.
Documentation Important?

 informs readers that you have consulted

experts on the subject, and have relied on
the most current and authoritative sources
to support your statements
 gives proper credit to the sources used in
the argument, which is an ethical
requirement . Failure to do so will result in
being accused of Plagiarism
 provides readers the books and articles you have used in support of
your argument(s). As a result, the readers may be encouraged to go
to the sources for additional information
Techniques of documentation

 Determine the purpose and objective of documentation.

 If it covers any process then write it in sequential step.
 Try to avoid long sentences , write in clear language.
 Don’t do spelling mistake.
 Check the grammar.
 Document should be understandable.
Types of Documentation

 Document Flowcharts
• Systems Flowcharts
• Data Flow Diagrams
Document Flowcharts

 A document flowchart traces the physical flow

of documents through an organization.
 Constructing a document flowchart begins by
identifying the different departments or groups
that handle the documents of a particular system.
• Auditors and accountants may used ocument flowcharts when
analyzing acurret system for weaknesses in control sand
reports.
System Flowcharts
 System flowcharts depict the logical flows of
data and processing steps in an AIS.
• They use symbols that are industry
conventions standardized by the National
Bureau of Standards.
• Each processing phase of a system flowchart
usually involves preparing one or more
control reports.
• These flowcharts depict an electronic job
stream of data through processing phases of
an AIS.
Data Flow Diagrams

 A data flow diagram shows the logical flows of data through a

transaction processing system of an organization.
• They are primarily used in the systems development process as a
tool for analyzing an existing system.
Computer application in research

 Model processing .
•Sample size calculation .
•Managing missing data.
•Performing computations .
•In estimating accurate p-value .
•Data analysis and interpretation .
Phases of Research Process

 There are five major phases of the research process. They are:
1) Conceptual phase
2) Design and planning phase
3) Empirical phase
4) Analytic phase and
5) Dissemination phase
