Data Quality Procedures in Survey Research: An Analysis and Framework for Doctoral Program Curricula
Burleson, James; Bott, Gregory J.; Carter, Michelle; Sarabadani, Jalal – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2023
To ensure validity in survey research, it is imperative that we properly educate doctoral students on best practices in data quality procedures. A 14-year analysis of 679 studies in the AIS "Basket of 8" journals noted undercommunication in the most pertinent procedures, consistent across journals and time. Given recent calls for…

Pena, Elizabeth D. – Child Development, 2007
In cross-cultural child development research there is often a need to translate instruments and instructions to languages other than English. Typically, the translation process focuses on ensuring linguistic equivalence. However, establishment of linguistic equivalence through translation techniques is often not sufficient to guard against…

Stanger-Hall, Kathrin; Merriam, Jennifer; Greuling, Ruth Ann – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2007
In this case study, based on the reported rediscovery of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker in April 2005, students examine a real-world example of the scientific process and explore the practical implications of their conclusions. The case tells the story of Brad Murky, a student and research assistant who must decide whether the available evidence is…

Hill, Edward W. – Monthly Labor Review, 1987
Examines national Current Population Survey data to indicate the impact of sample size on the standard error of subpopulations in the sample and to show how these errors can influence policy conclusions. Examines the unemployment rate cross-sectionally for 11 states to demonstrate that the monthly unemployment rate should not be used to make fine…

Pavur, Robert; Nath, Ravinder – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1984
Several general correlation patterns are shown which give exact F tests in an analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedure. They are the most general correlation patterns one can assume in a one-way and two-way layout and still have the F tests be valid. (Author/BW)

Richards, Stephen B.; Taylor, Ronald L.; Ramasamy, Rangasamy – Psychology in the Schools, 1997
Using the split-middle methods of trend estimation, evaluates the accuracy of interpretation of single subject data by comparing raters' visual analysis of behavior change with statistical determination of behavior change. Results indicate visual analysis accuracy was less than chance. Rater and student characteristics largely did not affect the…

Anderson, Gary L.; Kelley, Donna M. – 1987
Paralleling the interest among researchers in naturalistic inquiry is a resurgence in action research, and particularly in research which involves the collaboration of researchers and research subjects. This paper locates the negotiation of research outcomes between researcher and subject on a continuum, with the separation of researcher and…
