Final Decisions Around Methodology and (Data Collection) Methods Are Made

question 22

True/False

Final decisions around methodology and (data collection) methods are made when the literature review is completed, or nearly completed. This is because the researcher needs to learn from the literature what is already known in this area, and they need to be able to clearly see what is not known. The researcher will then develop their research project to ensure that the research makes a contribution to knowledge.
