First, you will need to make sure your research studies represent a variety of research methodology types to ensure that you have enough research to draw from to craft a complex research question. In addition, to make sure you have enough information to evaluate the data-collection types, you will need to complete the following:
• Select two research studies that utilize each methodology type and explore your chosen research problem (six in total).
• Note: You only need to submit the APA reference-page citation for each study you will use.
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 of impact potential threats to the credibility of your research. 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?
Finally, 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 types of data collection over others?
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Select data-collection types in selected research studies
Explore patterns in data collection to identify and analyze their impact on potential threats to credibility
Examine common data-collection types in social sciences

• Finally,
Identify the research questions from each of the six identified articles. Identify each research question’s methodology as qualitative, quantitative, or mixed. Be sure to include the reference for the articles.
