Select research studies that explore your chosen research problem and utilize the different methodology types you examined in Project One. You must include two research studies for each methodology type, for a total of six studies.
Note: You only need to submit the reference-page citation for each study you will use.
Role of Criminal Investigation Bodies and Institutions of Forensic Expert Opinions in Road Accident Prevention. (Qualitative)
The CSI effect on cold case investigations? (Quantitative)
Data-Collection Patterns
Now that you have conducted your preliminary research and chosen the research studies you will use to help craft your research question, you will need to evaluate each of your research studies to determine patterns in data-collection types. Determining patterns in data-collection types now will help you identify and analyze how these types impact potential threats to the credibility of your research, as well as the relevance of data-collection types to the research questions you will explore in Project Two in Module Six. As you consider the types of data included in each of your studies, answer the following:

What data-collection patterns do you notice?
Are there some data-collection types that seem to be used more in your area of study in the social sciences?
What about the other social sciences?
Why do you think that is?
How can using certain data-collection types more than others create a threat to credibility?
Purpose of Varied Data Collection
Finally, in Project Two in Module Six, you will analyze data-collection types to explore the benefits and drawbacks of the choices the researchers made in your selected studies, and the choices of researchers in anthropology, political science, human services, and criminal justice in the social sciences. As you consider data-collection types, answer each of the following:

What are the benefits of multiple data-collection types?
What are the drawbacks of multiple data-collection types?
What is the link between varied data collection and credibility risks?
What are some common types of data collection used in each of the social sciences?
Why do you think certain social sciences seem to favor particular types of data collection over others?
