Match method to research design
Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies require different analysis strategies. Start from your design, not from tools.
Select the right analysis for your variables
- For relationships: use correlation/regression approaches.
- For group comparisons: apply appropriate hypothesis tests.
- For themes: use qualitative coding and thematic synthesis.
Report analysis clearly
Describe your analysis steps, provide key metrics, and present results in a way reviewers can evaluate quickly.
