Research Lifecycle
The research lifecycle is the process a researcher takes to conduct a study from inception to completion. For this assignment, you must write a paper that describes the research process conducted in three dissertations related to technology automation (one for each method: qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods). Use the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global database in our library to search for your sample doctoral dissertations. Your paper should include information about the following for each dissertation:
Research problem, purpose, questions, and hypotheses (if any)
Research methodology (You will have one for each of the three methods)
Design of the study
Research instruments
Analysis conducted
Key findings
Ethical and any legal implications related to the research
Sample Answer
This assignment requires a comparative analysis of three doctoral dissertations focused on technology automation, each representing a different research methodology (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods). For each dissertation, we will examine the research process, from problem identification to ethical considerations.
