Sep 20, 2023 · Remember that data validation and quality control measures should be implemented throughout the data collection process, to detect errors and maintain data reliability. By choosing the right tools and methodologies, you can collect data that not only answers your research questions but also stands up to scrutiny.
5.4.2 Considerations in selecting data collection tools. The choice of data collection tool is largely dependent on review authors’ preferences, the size of the review, and resources available to the author team. Potential advantages and considerations of selecting one data collection tool over another are outlined in Table 5.4.a (Li et al 2015).
The time needed to collect data, data collection skills, and data quality are all considerations when data collection plans are conceived. Most specifically, many relevant decisions often require a balance between practicality (researcher time or skills, interest, and availability on the part of the participants, and available technology) and data quality.
