For the present order, I would like a high quality and knowledgeable/clear writing of my methodology process.
Moreover, the specialised writer is allowed to adapt according to the research practices and recommend statistical tests.
To have a better understanding to write this chapter, I sent you as attachment the following papers:
- My research proposal, where you will find the big lines about my research procedure (please read the related chapter),
- The university regulation and writing condition about the paper (including chapter 3 – “Methods & Procedures” on page 7),
- A draft of the current literature review & bibliography (please cite in APA all extra sources that not listed in the bibliography!!!),
- And finally, an exemple of the online questionnaire.
The chapter’s division should be the following:
- Introduction,
- Research paradigm,
- Research design,
- Data collection and sources, and
- Statistical tests discussion (currently set to an ANOVA).
— Please leave a first introduction page to be written later
