quantitative research journal articles

INTRODUCTION. Scientific research is usually initiated by posing evidenced-based research questions which are then explicitly restated as hypotheses.1,2 The hypotheses provide directions to guide the study, solutions, explanations, and expected results.3,4 Both research questions and hypotheses are essentially formulated based on conventional theories and real-world processes, which allow the ...

Second, quantitative research may exploit the bottom-up generalization strategy that is inherent to many qualitative approaches. This offers a new perspective on unsuccessful replications by treating them not as scientific failures, but as a valuable source of information about the scope of a theory. ... Journal Dev. Educ.

Background Identifying determinants of health and understanding their role in health production constitutes an important research theme. We aimed to document the state of recent multi-country research on this theme in the literature. Methods We followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines to systematically identify, triage and review literature (January 2013—July 2019). We searched for studies that ...

Quantitative research in the social sciences is undergoing a change. After years of scholarship on the oppressive history of quantitative methods, quantitative scholars are grappling with the ways that our preferred methodology reinforces social injustices (Zuberi, 2001).Among others, the emerging fields of CritQuant (critical quantitative studies) and QuantCrit (quantitative critical race ...

This article describes the basic tenets of quantitative research. The concepts of dependent and independent variables are addressed and the concept of measurement and its associated issues, such as error, reliability and validity, are explored. Experiments and surveys - the principal research designs in quantitative research - are described ...

The current Editorial presents an overview of the special issue, and describes the underlying, translational issues embedded within the issue. We highlight three main themes that emerged, and describe how this work will help to fuel the future directions of quantitative-based research within the Psychological Sciences.

Quantitative research methods are concerned with the planning, design, and implementation of strategies to collect and analyze data. ... is the ability to interpret research articles and to distinguish "high" quality research from "poor" quality research. The majority of journals that publish medical and health research have a peer ...

Quantitative Science Studies is the official open access journal of the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI). It publishes theoretical and empirical research on science and the scientific workforce. Emphasis is placed on studies that provide insight into the system of science, general laws of scientific work ...

The article discusses previous quantitative LL research and introduces a quantitative approach developed by the author during a data gathering and annotation of 6016 items. Quantitative methods can provide valuable insight to the ordering of reality and the materialized discourses. Furthermore, they can mitigate personal bias.

Given the low acceptance rates in high-quality academic journals, and more and more articles being rejected editorially even before peer review, appropriate presentation of quantitative research can substantially benefit (Szklo 2006; Kool et al. 2016). Therefore, adequate presentation of quantitative research is central to successful ...

This PrimeView highlights the use of quantitative text analysis in various analytical tasks, from categorizing information to analyzing sentiment and making predictions.

1. BACKGROUND. Public and patient involvement (PPI) in health research has been defined as research being carried out "with" or "by" members of the public rather than "to," "about" or "for" them. 1 PPI covers a diverse range of approaches from "one off" information gathering to sustained partnerships. Tritter's conceptual framework for PPI distinguished between indirect ...

Topics include corporate finance, investments, capital and security markets, and quantitative methods of particular relevance to financial researchers. With a circulation of 3000 libraries, firms, and individuals in 70 ...

Chronic diseases have an impact on and change patients' lives, and the way they experience their bodies alters. Patients may struggle with identity and self-esteem, a shrinking lifeworld and a challenging reality. 1 The chronic diseases become part of the patients' lives, whether they affect their physical health and functions, autonomy, freedom and identity, or threaten their life. 2 The ...

Exploring the putative role of nature in human well-being has typically been operationalized and measured within a quantitative paradigm of research. However, such approaches are limited in the extent to which they can capture the full range of how natural experiences support well-being. The aim of the study was to explore personal experiences in nature and consider how they might be important ...

Teaching quantitative data analysis is not teaching number crunching, but teaching a way of critical thinking for how to analyze the data. The goal of data analysis is to reveal the underlying patterns, trends, and relationships of a study's contextual situation. Learning data analysis is not learning how to use statistical tests to crunch ...

In our quantitative second phase, 31% (151/487) of the survey participants were found to have never used a form of digital health, while 10.7% (52/487) were low- to medium-frequency users and 48.5% (236/487) were high-frequency users. High-frequency users were more likely to be interested in digital health and had higher self-efficacy ...

The way in which quantitative research and qualitative research are conventionally contrasted with each other runs along familiar lines - the former is seen as offering 'hard', 'factual' data, while the latter is depicted as softer, as providing deeper insight, but at the expense of being necessarily more 'interpretivist' and 'subjective' in its approach.

SEARCH FOR RELEVANT ARTICLES. To identify articles relevant to this topic, we adhered to the search strategy recommended by Gasparyan et al.7 We searched through PubMed, Scopus, Directory of Open Access Journals, and Google Scholar databases using the following keywords: quantitative research, qualitative research, mixed-method research, deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, study design ...

Epigenetic abnormalities play a crucial role in the occurrence of CRPM [].Indeed, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is one of the most common forms of epigenetic modifications found in messenger RNA (mRNA) [14, 15].Recent research has indicated that m6A plays a crucial role in various aspects of mRNA, including splicing, nuclear export, translation, and stability.

Results. Stress was experienced more significantly than depression or anxiety. Approximately 29% of the change in scores for psychological symptoms was explained by age group, being a Saudi national and working in emergency departments (F [3,620] = 19.063, p < 0.0001).A 37% change in nursing stress scores was explained by nationality and work department.

2. Questionnaire researchers, journal editors and reviewers should be more careful and suspicious about using published measures in management research. Designing new questionnaires is tricky and time consuming, so it is tempting to use and re-use existing ones for practical and legitimation reasons (Scherbaum & Meade, 2009). Moreover, the use ...
