Research methods

Understand the method before you run the analysis.

Research Malaysia focuses on method selection, assumptions, instrument preparation, analysis logic and interpretation in plain language.

Design surveys, define constructs, plan samples and prepare analysis workflows.

“ ”

Develop interview designs and transparent approaches to coding and theme development.

↔

Plan studies that combine evidence sources or address an applied organisational problem.

Method workflow

A method should follow the research question—not the software.

Use a structured sequence so that analysis choices remain traceable to the study design.

Identify what must be described, explained, compared, predicted or explored.

Select a design that can produce evidence relevant to that question.

Operationalise constructs or prepare qualitative protocols and sampling logic.

Use techniques appropriate to the design and quality of the data.

Explain what the evidence means for the research questions, theory and practice.
