GRADED A+
◍ When should a hypothesis be developed by the researcher during the
research process?A. Before development of the research question B. Correct
After development of the research question C. After a research design is
determined D. Before any statistical analysis.
Answer: Before development of the research question
◍ What does the peer review process mean?.
Answer: A process of subjecting research to the appraisal of a neutral third
party. Evaluating research manuscripts for publication.
◍ Transferability.
Answer: The ability to apply qualitative research findings in other settings or
situations.
◍ What makes a poor research question?.
Answer: 1. A focused research question2. Research questions is a statement
3. Questions are clear, simple, and straightforward
◍ What are some of the criteria under Qualitative and Quantitative?.
Answer: Quantitative- 1. Reality is objective and can be seen and measured
2. Reality is relatively constant 3. Reality can be separated from its context
4. Objective, detached 5. Samples that represent overall populations as
subjectiveQualitative- 1. Reality is constructed by the individual2. reality is
continuously constructed 3. Reality is embedded in its context 4. Personally
involved 5. Individual cases, represented as informants
◍ What is altimetric?.
Answer: A new tool that looks at the extent of a publication's influence.
, Also known as the "the creation and study of new metric based on the social
web for analyzing and informing scholarship."
◍ Type I error.
Answer: Often called alpha (α) and referred to as the level of significance,
the researcher erroneously draws a conclusion that the intervention had an
effect.
◍ Instrumentation.
Answer: A threat to internal validity that occurs because the instrument or
data collection procedure has changed in some way.
◍ Dependent variable.
Answer: An outcome of interest that occurs after the introduction of an
independent variable; the "effect" of "cause and effect."
◍ The z or t test.
Answer: is appropriate for analyzing differences between means; as a
consequence, these tests are useful when differences in interval-level
variables are contrasted in two groups.
◍ Sampling error.
Answer: A number that indicates differences in results found in the sample
when compared to the population from which the sample was drawn.
◍ Levels of evidence.
Answer: A scale that provides the user with a quick way to assess the quality
of the study design and, therefore, the strength of the study conclusions.
◍ Cohen's kappa.
Answer: A measure of inter-rater or inter-coder reliability between two
raters or coders. The test yields the percentage of agreement and the
probability of error
◍ Internal validity.
Answer: The confidence that an experimental treatment or condition made a
difference and that rival explanations were systematically ruled out through
