ABCs of research
Statement of what a scholarly or complex written work contains, presented as a summary usually by someone other than the author of the work
What is an abstract
In this practice of research, the same experiment is done in at least two parallel experiments that different in only one way, with one experiment being the "control arm" and the other being the "experimental arm".
Research control
This type of research "refers to the meanings, concepts definitions, characteristics, metaphors, symbols, and description of things" and not to their "counts or measures.”
What is Qualitative
A measure of whether your research findings are meaningful. More specifically, it’s whether your stat closely matches what value you would expect to find in an entire population.
What is the Statistical significance
Variables that the researcher failed to control, or eliminate, damaging the internal validity of an experiment.
What is a Confounding variable
Precise and exact results acquired from the data collected
What is Validity
Any trend or deviation from the truth in data collection, data analysis, interpretation and publication which can cause false conclusions.
What is bias
A sampling method in which all members of a group (population or universe) have an equal and independent chance of being selected.
Random sampling
The objective of this research is to develop and employ mathematical models, theories and hypotheses pertaining to phenomena.
What is Quantitative
The probability for a given statistical model that, when the null hypothesis is true, the statistical summary (such as the sample mean difference between two compared groups) would be the same as or of greater magnitude than the actual observed results
What is the p value
How confident the qualitative researcher is in the truth of the research study’s findings.
What is Credibility
The establishment of credibility, transferability, confirmability and dependability
What is Trustworthiness
Refers to a practice where study participants are prevented from knowing certain information that may somehow influence them—thereby tainting the research
What is blinding
A way of assessing the quality of the measurement procedure used to collect data in a dissertation.
What is Reliability
Written by scholars or professionals who are experts in their fields. In the sciences and social sciences, the published research results are peer reviewed.
What is a Journal article
Refers to the probability of rejecting a null hypothesis that is in fact true. This quantity ranges from zero (0.0) to one (1.0) and is typically denoted by the Greek letter alpha (a). It is sometimes referred to as the probability of obtaining a result by chance alone.
What is the Level of significance
A method of disciplined, systematic study of a written or oral discourse.
What is a critique
Means using more than one method to collect data on the same topic.
What is Triangulation
Exam that determines researcher's readiness to conduct research with integrity
What is the CITI certification
An attitude of attending systematically to the context of knowledge construction, especially to the effect of the researcher, at every step of the research process.
What is Reflexivity
Refers to the probability of rejecting a null hypothesis that is in fact true. This quantity ranges from zero (0.0) to one (1.0) and is typically denoted by the Greek letter alpha (a). It is sometimes referred to as the probability of obtaining a result by chance alone.
Level of significance
Variables that the researcher failed to control, or eliminate, damaging the internal validity of an experiment.
What is a Confounding variable
An assumption or conclusion that is rationally and logically made, based on the given facts or circumstances, so the reasoning for the conclusion is often logical.
What is Inference
PICO
What is the nursing research question format
Formatting commonly used for scientific papers
What is APA format
A sampling method in which all members of a group (population or universe) have an equal and independent chance of being selected.
What is random sampling
Organization that reviews research proposal prior to the start of data collection
What is the IRB
The measure of the likelihood that an event will occur
What is probability
Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, And, Discussion.
What is the IMRAD format
The process in which articles are evaluated for high standards of research a value to the specific field of study
What is Peer review
