How to Maximize the Time You Spending Writing an Article The content you write is what defines your blog. Without content, there really is no blog. Because content is so important to the growth and brand of your blog, you have to write to the best of your ability. Even though most bloggers’ know how important the content they write is, not everyone treats it as it should be treated; like a king. King-like content has the following characteristics to it: It expresses unique ideas, and is presented in a simple, easy to read way.There is a structure the article follows (good formatting, use of headings, lists, etc.)Any ideas written about are fully developed and causes a reader to really think deeply about them.It provokes thoughtful discussions among readers in your community.It was written with a very distinct plan behind it. Working out of impulse has its benefits, but when it comes to writing an article, doing it out of impulse is not the smartest thing to do. Think of something you have ever planned in your life.

Raynald's SPSS Tools Tips and Tricks for Coding with NVivo Having worked with NVivo on a number of our own projects, as well as those of clients, we’ve discovered a few tips and tricks along the way that we thought might be useful to share. The tips are by no means the “right” way to code (there is no such thing!), but we’ve certainly found that we’ve saved ourselves some time, not to mention headaches, by following the suggestions below. Less is More This generally useful principle can be applied to NVivo in two ways – firstly, try to avoid having too many nodes. The combination of the ease of use of NVivo and a tendency to want to code at quite specific categories, can actually result in an unmanageable number of nodes to work with. Another application of the “less is more” principle is in regards to the amount of text to select when coding. Some NVivo Coding Quirks Over the years in our NVivo training sessions we’ve come across a few minor annoyances that NVivo users have. Final Tips
Qualitative Surveys Leading to Quantitative Surveys Part 2 | SurveyMethods.com Blog In the last article we discussed some of the problems with qualitative data in market research. But although it has those risks, it also has one thing that quantitative research doesn’t have – the ability to provide insight beyond the restrictions in the survey. The best example would be market research on new features. Normally with a quantitative survey you need to have an idea of what features you have already thought about creating, then research what the customers think of those ideas. However, if you ask a qualitative question such as “What features would you like to see on our product?” It’s that lack of limitations that give the surveys so much potential, provided you get responses that have that value. How to Integrate Qualitative Surveys Adding qualitative questions to quantitative surveys is a start, but the best way may be to run a completely separate survey using qualitative questions. For companies looking for the next great idea this may be the best option.
Projeto de Pesquisa (Parte III - Tipo de Estudo) A definição A descrição do tipo de estudo é o próximo item a ser descrito após o objetivo. Depois que a pergunta está bem formulada, o tipo de estudo que melhor irá responder a questão deve ser determinado. Em tratamento são os ensaios clínicos aleatórios, e sempre que possível o mascaramento deve ser utilizado. Neste item será resumido a uma frase, por exemplo, estudo clínico randomizado, duplo-cego. A importância A seleção adequada do tipo de estudo é um dos determinantes da qualidade dos resultados que a pesquira irá produzir. Os tipos de estudos Os estudos primários são classificados em observacionais (não experimentais) e experimentais. Os estudos secundários são as revisão sistemática/meta-análise e estudos com análise econômica (custo-minimização, custo-efetividade, custo-benefício, custo-utilidade). A aula
PhD Wiki: The Use of Mapping in Literature Review Submitted to my supervisors February 2009Ammendments in red 1. Introduction 1.1 The Literature Review Literature review is a systematic method for identifying, evaluating and interpreting the work of researchers, scholars and practitioners in a chosen field (Fink, 1998). "The selection of available documents (both published and unpublished) on the topic, which contain information, ideas, data and evidence written from a particular standpoint to fulfil certain aims or express certain views on the nature of the topic and how it is to be investigated, and the effective evaluation of these documents in relation to the research being proposed" Boote and Beile (2005) suggest “a thorough, sophisticated review of literature is even more important in education research, with its messy, complex problems, than in most other fields and disciplines.” 1.2 Mapping It is the established method for externalizing knowledge and thinking processes. 2. 2.1 Approaches to Mapping 2.2 Types of Mapping 4.

How to write a questionnaire 1.05 How to write a questionnaire Students are often very disappointed when the questionnaires or surveys they send out as part of their course have a very low response rate, and this may even affect the validity of their research. It is very important, therefore, that questionnaires be well prepared and well constructed in order to minimize non-response. General considerations Keep the questionnaire as short as possible Most people are busy. Just stick to the essential or very useful information needed; discard any questions which relate to supplementary, secondary or unnecessary data. Target the questionnaire carefully You must make sure that your questionnaire is completely relevant to the person you’re asking to complete it. In addition, try to target people and organisations who you think are less likely to be bombarded by similar requests. Consider the question of anonymity Maybe offer something in return Don’t make people pay for stamps or phone calls! Use follow-up reminders
SPSS Links The first link below takes you to lessons I have written to teach the novice how to use SPSS to conduct basic statistical analyses. Simple analyses can be done on SPSS for Windows simply by pointing and clicking, but some analyses are available only by entering syntax. For example, if you want canonical analysis with your MANOVA (and frankly, MANOVA without canonical analysis is pretty much useless), you need to use the MANOVA program (rather than the point and click GLM program), but MANOVA is available only through syntax -- that is, you have to write the code to do the analysis and run it just as you would an SAS program. I also provide here a link to a page of such programs which you can download and then edit for your own use.

Likert scale Explanations > Social Research > Measurement > Likert Scale Description | Example | Question selection | Discussion | See also Description The Likert Scale is an ordered, one-dimensional scale from which respondents choose one option that best aligns with their view. There are typically between four and seven options. All options usually have labels, although sometimes only a few are offered and the others are implied. A common form is an assertion, with which the person may agree or disagree to varying degrees. In scoring, numbers are usually assigned to each option (such as 1 to 5). Example 5-point traditional Likert scale: 5-point Likert-type scale, not all labeled: 6-point Likert-type scale: Question selection Questions may be selected by a mathematical process, as follows: Generate a lot of questions -- more than you need. Discussion The Likert scale is named after its originator, Rensis Likert. A benefit is that questions used are usually easy to understand and so lead to consistent answers.
