Importance of a Strong Research Design
Research design is more than an outline. It is a roadmap for relating the conceptual problem you research to an empirical inquiry with validity. It also relates to:
• The data required
• The processes of collecting the data and methods to make sense of the data
• How these elements are linked to your research question and will help answer the research question.
• A solid research design ensures:
• The research addressed the research topic
• The findings are reliable and valid
• The data was collected ethically and was within the feasibility of the study
• The research can be duplicated and is defensibly academic
The research design, regardless of whether qualitative, quantitative, or mixed method, should reflect the logic of inquiry, the purpose of the study and the direction of reasoning (inductive or deductive).
Challenges Faced by Ph.D. Scholars in Research Design
When Ph.D. students come to write a research design they will typically run into many challenges:
1. Uncertainty about choosing the appropriate design Scholars have trouble distinguishing between exploratory, explanatory, descriptive, and predicative designs.
2. Difficulty in aligning objectives with methodology Many will not link their research objectives with the data collection or sampling methods chosen.
3. A lack of clarity around the difference between research design and methodology Scholars do not differentiate between the overall study design and the individual research methods.
4. Insufficient justification for choices made Students do not outline why the had felt the need to do one approach and not the other which devalues the methodology chapter overall.
5. Constraints around time and resources The limitations around availability of tools, and data access, and access to supervision can delay their ability to start and impact the quality of the design.

Our Research Design Service by Subject Area
Types of Research Design That We Carry Out
Descriptive Research Design
- Data Collection: Is driven by the complete collection of statistical data to describe a population or phenomenon at a unique point in time.
- Foundational Summary: Helps identify important variables, patterns, and trends can provide a foundation for future research or testing hypotheses.
Longitudinal Research Design
- Observation Over Time: Repeated observations of the same group of people/subjects over a long period of time to study the changes or developments that occur over time.
- Trend Study: A good design for examining long-term impacts or studying the effects of specific interventions, longitudinal designs are, generically, commonly used in fields of health, education, and social sciences.
Action Research Design
- Practical issues: Action research design emphasizes the immediate practical issues of a particular context that the participants are involved with in the research project.
- Cycle: Action research is conducted using cycles of planning, action, observation, and reflective critique that is intended to develop the practice as a site of research based on the findings.
Exploratory Research Design
- Initial Exploration: Is used when there is insufficient information on a topic and serves to examine and define research questions or theories.
- Qualitative: Uses methods that stimulate free-flowing conversation and include interviews, focus groups, and case studies, so you may capture in-depth understanding of a group. Exploratory research is also a common starting point for quantitative and/or confirmatory research.
Cross-Sectional Research Design
- Snapshot of Data: A study collects data at one point in time and also obtains data on different groups or groups to age at that time to look at the interrelations or differences between groups.
- Comparative Study: Excellent way to look at prevalence or variance in different populations or subgroups, without time-consuming and arduous long-term follow-up studies.
Cohort Research Design
- Exposed groups: Cohort designs include observing a group (or cohort) of interest over a period of time to learn how exposures and conditions affect long term outcomes.
- Longitudinal or retrospective: Cohort designs can be developed to longitudinally follow subjects into the future or retrospectively study outcomes that were based on someone else’s data; hence cohort designs are well suited as research designs in health-related experiments.
Experimental Research Design
- Cause-and-Effect: Is considered when the researcher manipulates the independent variables and then measures the dependent variables to determine a cause-and-effect relationship between them.
- Controlled: Experimental designs use controlled groupings, randomization and strict protocol to maintain results accuracy and reliability, therefore experimental designs are the gold standard for testing hypotheses.
Causal Research Design
- Objective of Causation: Used to identify causal relationships between variables; usually employ some type of statistical tool like regression or path analysis.
- Specific Triggering Effects: Shows causation aspects and how change in one variable affects another variable, which can help researchers determine the effect of specific intervention(s) or life event(s).
Case Study Research Design
- In-depth Case study research includes an in-depth inquiry into a particular case or very small number of cases by using individuals, organizations, and events.
- Qualitative: Case study designs will generally use interviews, observational research and document analysis to generate very rich field data from a particular context to provide understanding of unique and complex phenomena.
