Data Analysis
Data analysis of the research method order number #198762577 written by (Consultwrite101)
The paper should include:
1. Introduction. Good features for the Introduction include:
Summary of the study and data, as well as any relevant substantive context, background, or framing issues.
The big questions answered by your data analyses, and summaries of your conclusions about these questions.
Brief outline of remainder of paper.
The above is a pretty good order to present this material in as well.
2. Body. The body can be organized in several ways. Here are two that often work well:
Traditional. Divide the body up into several sections at the same level as the Introduction, with
names like:
Data
Methods Analysis Results
This format is very familiar to those who have written psych research papers. It often works well for a data analysis paper as well, though one problem with it is that the Methods section often sounds like a bit of a stretch: In a psych research paper the Methods section describes what you did to get your data. In a data analysis paper, you should describe the analyses that you performed. Without the results as well, this can be pretty sterile sounding, so I often merge these methods pieces into the Analysis section when I write.
Question-oriented. In this format there is a single Body section, usually called Analysis, and then there is a subsection for each question raised in the introduction, usually taken in the same order as in the introduction (general to specific, decreasing order of importance, etc.). Within each subsection, statistical method, analyses, and conclusion would be described (for each question). For example:
2. Analysis
2.1 Success Rate
Methods Analysis Conclusions
