For research analysis, we log only dependent variables and no log for independent variables. Is okay? Does anyone provide some references?
Thank you
Relevant answer
Answer
The practice of logging only dependent variables (also known as response variables) without recording independent variables (predictor variables) is common in certain research scenarios. Let’s explore this approach:
  1. Context: Researchers often choose to focus on specific aspects of their study. In some cases, the primary interest lies in understanding the impact of certain factors (independent variables) on a particular outcome (dependent variable).
  2. When Is It Appropriate?: Observational Studies: When researchers are analyzing existing data (e.g., survey responses, historical records), they may have limited control over independent variables. In such cases, they might log only the dependent variables. Secondary Data Analysis: When using publicly available datasets or databases, researchers may work with pre-collected data where independent variables are not available.
  3. Considerations: Limitation: Not logging independent variables means missing potential insights into causal relationships. Transparency: Researchers should clearly state their approach in research publications to ensure transparency. Justification: Provide a rationale for why independent variables were not logged.
  4. References: While I don’t have direct access to external references, I recommend consulting relevant research methodology textbooks or scholarly articles on data analysis and study design. Some well-known statistical and research methods books include:Designing Social Inquiry” by Gary King, Robert O. Keohane, and Sidney Verba “Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis” by Richard A. Johnson and Dean W. Wichern “Research Methods in Psychology” by Paul C. Cozby
Remember that the decision to log only dependent variables should align with the research goals, context, and available data. Always consult domain-specific experts and relevant literature for guidance specific to your research field.

Hi everyone, I am new to qualitative research and this is my first time doing a research rely only on secondary data (required). My research aim is to explore the the relationship between social media activities and offline hate-crime conduct against non-binary races. I had found existing studies that support the argument but they aren't quite necessarily in the same filed. The literature I found are in fields like social media and social fragmentation; online racism; online intergroup interactions associate with offline physical violences.
Can anyone tell me what method could I use for the analysis to get valid findings, please? Thank you!!!!!
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Rae Zhong , I agree with Prof. Mohamed Fawzi Afifi and Mohialdeen Alotumi.
Since at this moment it is not possible for you collect data from primary sources and you will only depend on the secondary sources, Netnography is the most suitable method for you.
As you will explore the relationship between social media activities and offline hate-crime conduct against non-binary races, this new online research method will help you to get reliable data. Here you will get a great opportunity to easily understand the inner feelings and real expressions of the people, which usually is not possible in a face-to-face interview. I am sure you will be satisfied with your valid findings by this Qualitative Internet Research.
But dear Rae, you have to remember that by adopting this technique, collecting your necessary data and analyzing them are time-consuming. And here you have to follow similar research steps like the Ethnographic Research method.@Rae Zhong

I'm trying to make these similar concepts clear in my mind but it's not easy. Let's make a brainstorming together!
Although there are some differences the related literature says:
the intent of a meta-analysis is to aggregate the findings of quantitative studies and analyze this for a true effect;
the intent of a meta-synthesis is to synthesize the findings of qualitative studies and reinterpret the data;
On the other hand, when we need to examine both the quantitative and qualitative studies, we have to prefer a different method. However, what is the the correct option for us?
Is examining both the qualitative and quantitave studies at the same time a wrong approach?
Do we need to use meta-integration (aka mixed-meta synthesis) or systematic review? What are the differences between these two methods? What are the procedures that we need to follow?
Of course there are lots of studies in the literature but lets make it clear: which one is the "right" one? Let's share, discuss and try to make a consensus on this issue!
Relevant answer
Answer
Systematic review is defined differently by different institutes. For example, Cochrane has reserved this term for quantitative studies while Johanna Briggs Institute (JBI) uses the term for the synthesis of all kinds of studies. However, there seems to be a consensus that a systematic review has three characteristic features. First, a clear and well-defined research question. Second, a comprehensive literature search and selection of studies along with critical appraisal. Third, at least two independent reviewers must critically appraise the studies included in the review. The meta-analysis is a term reserved for quantitative studies and it is essential to perform a systematic review for meta-analysis.
With regard to your question, if it is wrong to examine both Qual and Quant studies, mixed methods systematic reviews are used. There are three types of mixed reviews. First, segregated (if you believe that both qualitative and quantitative approaches are distinct and should be analyzed separately). Second, contingent (if you believe that the qualitative and quantitative findings should be analyzed in a parallel manner and by moving back and forth), and finally integrated (if you believe that qualitative and quantitative approaches are not distinct, rather they qualify and complement each other).
Meta-integration or aggregation is the synthesis technique developed by JBI. It is based on the philosophy of pragmatism, that is, aggregation of studies in a way that they are more useful and practical for guiding practice and policymaking. This technique is mainly reserved for qualitative systematic reviews.
In addition, you may wana take a look at the 14 review typology developed by Grant and Booth to further clarify these terms.

If a study take a post-positivist approach to qualitative research and analysis, what would you say are the limitations? I would be interested to know people's thoughts on this whatever field of research you are in.
Relevant answer
Answer
It is certainly possible to do qualitative work from a post-positivist perspective, but it is far more common to pursue this kind of research using a constructivist perspective. Two of the reasons for this preference are the assumptions about truth and objectivity that are typically associated with post-positivism. With regard to truth, qualitative researchers seldom believe that there is an external reality that can be used to assess the validity of their research. With regard to objectivity, qualitative researchers typically acknowledge the subjectivity of both their own procedures and the reports of the research participants.

I would recommend you to focus much on the heat transfer working fluid that runs in the radiator loop because it accounts beyond the average of total heat transfer enhancements . However, if this is not your target and you wanna focus only on the material of the heat exchanger, then try stainless steel though this ain't gonna give u much enhancements due to its low thermal conductivity.

Research provides new domain of knowledge, new theories and laws, solution to a problem and open new areas of thought. Further, it has the potential to question and analyse the existing theories in accordance to the present circumstances. Research involves answering unanswered questions or exploring something which currently does not exist (Goddard & Melville, 2004). Hence, it is important for educational/ professional academicians and scholars to be acquainted higher order research techniques. In the recent past, many new dimensions of research have emerged catering to the vast changes taking place in the present day social situation. The quality of research depends on the understanding of the research problem, the attendant research methodology and the appropriate tools used for the analysis.

If so, when will new telescopes be constructed, thanks to which you will be able to see what is on the planets of other planetary systems in other constellations?
Every now and then more and more perfect telescopes are being built thanks to which photographs of other constellations and other galaxies are created.
Thanks to these photographs, the cognitive abilities in the field of astronomy are increased, among others the estimated amounts of stars, planetary systems and planets in specific constellations, galaxies.
Besides, thanks to these photographs, more and more perfect maps of the blue vault, collections of galaxies and specific segments of the cosmos are created.
For example, studies conducted in recent years based on new cosmic photographs show with previously unattainable accuracy the distribution of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, in which there is a solar system with our Earth.
In April 2018, astronomers prepared a much more accurate than the current three-dimensional map of the Milky Way Galaxy.
This was done as part of a research project with a million dollars budget. As part of this research project and thanks to the space mission launched in 2013, the Gaia probe was developed a very accurate map of the Andromeda Galaxy and a new research material was created for the purposes of research into the analysis of the past and future of our Galaxy.
The research project was implemented by the European Space Agency. Based on this research project, the latest astrometric data set containing positions and self-movements of over a billion stars was made available.
Placed on Earth's orbit, the Gaia Probe has two optical telescopes and three scientific instruments that also allow to determine the brightness, temperature and chemical composition of individual stars.
In addition, the latest data set contains star colors that provide vital information about their surface temperature and age.
The Gaia probe also provided new data in the area of ​​13,000. asteroids circulating within the solar system.
In view of the above, the current question is: If so, when will new telescopes be constructed, thanks to which you will be able to see what is on the planets of other planetary systems in other constellations?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.
Relevant answer
Answer
First let me offer a minor correction: "Constellations" are configurations of the stars that appear in the night sky from the surface of the Earth that were grouped together by the ancient Greeks to symbolize mythological and other creatures. Constellations have no physical significance but they are very handy ways to locate astronomical objects in the night sky.
Other than the planets of our own Solar System I doubt that there will every be on planet Earth a telescope capable of resolving the surface of a exoplanet. All we can do is analyze the light we receive directly from the parent star and that reflected by the star's exoplanet.

I am conducting hierarchical regression - my 4 IV's are continuous and my 3 DV's are dichotomous. I have tested all assumptions and all are met but I am stuck with normality, linearity and homoscedasticity of residuals assumption!
Tabachnich (2013) states that the dependent variables are required to be computed against the residuals in P-P plots and scatterplots to test this assumption - however when I do this the residuals are no where near the diagonal! Instead, they are slightly scattered in straight lines elsewhere.
I can get this to work if I split my SPSS file by one of the DV's and then enter the IV's into the model instead of the DV's, and all relationships look as they should. However, I really do not think I am doing this right. I have not read anything to state that I should be doing this either - this was just me trying to make this work.
Can anyone assist me, please? I understand logistic regression is the preferred analysis for my research, but this is not the analysis I am going with (for various reasons) and I would really like to try make this assumption work so I can test my hypotheses.

Why should you want to test normality if you already know that the variable is dichotomous?
Why don't you want to use logistic regression? This would be the correct tool. If you had huge amounts of data, a normal regression model would be ok (approximately). If you don't have a huge sample size, then your options seems limited (intedend to be provocating, but not offending):

  • someone else does it for you,

My urr is stating that using a large sample size is not permitted and that I should justify. I have done so using other research articles and even had statisticians say that is weird of him to ask me to justify. Please any thoughts and directions is appreciated

Why research activities get less priority in developing countries?. How international researcher help on this aspect in order to improve research activities?  
Relevant answer
Answer
I am questioning the effectiveness of R&D investment  in the question page "Should LDCs invest more resources in R&D?"  (mentioned above, post # 14). LDCs should pored more efforts in elevating and enhancing their economy itself. R&D and scientific knowledge produced from it are some times for the economy a kind of decorations.
Minimum amount of research, in the Universities in particular, is necessary in order to keep or call back excellent scholars in their home countries. And this is necessary to educate people for the fields where the national economy is demanding. R&D should not be considered for its own sake.
Research in Cobb-Douglas production function is misleading. I have argued this point in my working paper:
Growth Theory As It Ought to Be: Comments on Kurz and Salvadori's Two Survey Papers on Old and New Growth Theory
To emphasize investment in LDCs is a kind of obsession that New Growth Theory fabricated or framed up. We should be careful to use its models and interpretations in the research for economic development.    
See in particular the following sections in the above paper: 
6. Smooth production functions
7. Technological change
14. Fundamental issues of growth and development

Who is your go-to for answering questions or for other guidance on qualitative data collection and analysis?
Relevant answer
Answer
For introductory coverage of qualitative research, I like Marshall and Rallis's textbook. For more advanced research, I don't think there is any one authoritative source, especially with regard to data collection and analysis. In particular, the Sage Handbook by Denzin and Lincoln has rather little coverage of practical issues such as data collection and analysis.
Instead, there is a Sage handbook of Qualitative Data Analysis edited by Uwe Flick and a forthcoming matching volume on Qualitative Data Collection, but these sources basically give you a chapter apiece on different methods.

Eugene's answer is spot on!  I just wanted to add that you want to work hard at this stage in your work to understand the framework of good quality research, suchh as the terms, the basic nuts and bolts, as this is the language that others can follow as you design your questions and methods.  Using the research language we all understand will better communicate the good work and contributions you want to make.  Best wishes!

I am doing a research about two different topics and I need quality (strong) data which will support my hypothesis in both of them. Until now, I used case study, area reports, scientific researches, manual testing (personal insight). What else can be used? Any advice will be helpful.

dear researchers,
what I mean is what are the recognized ant the international minimal norms for a researcher to be classified as a good researcher, quite good, weak researcher (in terms of the number of articles, conference papers, total impact factor, the referred journals in which he publishes, etc.).
Relevant answer
Answer
Tayeb,
I have come across different variations of this question and I think the common denominator should include: a) cautionary use of classic metrics (impact factors, article citations b) in-depth assessment of the quality from within the research itself (structure, literature, methodology, novelty, outcome etc) that cannot be captured by typical number aggregators, which may be vulnerable to gaming and manipulation. A weak researcher in my humble view would be someone who is interested in the quantity rather than quality of work, tweaking previous papers to generate a "new" study, duplicating material or failing to integrate research ethics (integrity, authenticity) into his/her work.

I'm a junior research candidate (M.Phil in English literature). I presented my first seminar on 8th of February, 2016. My one teacher pointed out my language specially my words and clauses like "disclose", "to voice the voiceless woman" and "study endeavors"  . I'm pasting here two points of my presentation slides. Kindly clarify my idea regarding the use of language in literary research.
The present study aims to voice the voiceless rural women of Sindh portrayed in the selected fictional and real short stories.Following theoretical insights of Guha (1983) and Spivak (1988) the study endeavors to:
1.disclose the oppressive factors against the target rural women by critically analysing the process of construction of subalternity in their (the women) lives.

What should be the language of research?
Think there is no fixed language for research.  But language used should fit for its purpose in the article / thesis / conference proceeding / presentation / audience and can be different from discipline to discipline like engineering, social sciences etc.  For example, language used in conference presentation might focus on keywords rather than structured / proper grammar English as in article writing even though both of them derived from the same contents.

Several years ago, I came across a paper that introduces a decomposition approach to moderation analysis. I believe the paper appeared in Organizational Research Methods. I have been trying to locate the paper since, but failed. Does anyone know what paper I refer to?
The approach is as follows. When one has a moderator variable D which is a dummy, the equation with interaction effect is Y = b0 + b1X + b2XD + e. The decomposition approach would test the following equation: Y = b0 + b1X(D-1) + b2XD + e. These are functionally equivalent, and particularly useful when the D variable is not a dummy but nominal with a few values instead. I find the approach very neat and have recommended it to students, but cannot provide them with a reference.

I will try to offer a practical and hopefully feasible strategy: If you have previously validated instruments or questionnaire in your population you can report the relevant data from the original study. And you can calculate report alpha internal consistency for reliability. You can use parallel questionnaires and report their correlations as an indicator for concurrent validity. If you devise  a new questionnaire then follow the scale contruction process. And use the data employing the construct structure (ie the dimensions subscales etc.) from your raw data. This all call be done in one cross sectional data collection in any case.

I don't understand the question. why wld qual research diminish community components.
Altho grantors did not understand and value qual research - this is no longer the case. In fact most NIH studies now require a qual component. Most of the failure of health disparities research to improve healthcare is that the research has been top-down, i.e. designed by White, middle class professionals who are not culturally competent. Qual research, because it is bottom up, i.e. constructed by the lived experiences of participants, has been much more effective in designing health initiatves that are relevant to poor communities of color.
