Research Design

Overview

Research design turns vague curiosity into a study that can actually answer a question. Method choice, sampling, and operational constraints are decided up front so results are interpretable.

When to Use

  • Scoping a new research project
  • Choosing between qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods
  • Writing research briefs and plans
  • Aligning stakeholders on what “done” means

Core Practices

  • Write precise research questions or hypotheses
  • Match methods to the type of question (exploratory, descriptive, causal)
  • Define population, sampling approach, and constraints
  • Plan data collection instruments and analysis approach together
  • State limitations and non-goals explicitly
  • Set decision criteria: what finding would change a choice?

Principles

  • A beautiful method answering the wrong question is waste
  • Feasibility is part of design, not an afterthought
  • Mixed methods need a deliberate integration plan
  • Pre-registration of analysis intent reduces motivated reasoning

Verification

  • [ ] Research questions are specific and answerable
  • [ ] Method choice is justified against the questions
  • [ ] Sampling and limitations are explicit
  • [ ] Stakeholders agree on how findings will be used
