Selecting a Research Method
When starting a completely new protocol from scratch you need to specify the research method fitting your study. A research method also must be specified when searching your personal library and the general library and when browsing the typical design library. The reason for designating a research method is to characterize your protocol for future reference and for future users (if you make the protocol public). Also, construction options and procedures differ somewhat from method to method. For example, while the basic concepts of surveys and classical experiments are similar, procedures will sometimes be different.]
A dropdown menu for selection of a research method appears on the Search Protocols Page.
To designate a research method, simply click on the dropdown list of research methods and click on the one closest to your study.
A dropdown menu for selecting a research method also appears on the Research Methods Page of the Composer and in the popup Protocol Description Window on the Edit Protocol Page.
