Provide a well thought-out rationale for your decision to use the design, methodology, and analyses you have selected. Name your research methodology and describe your research design. Be aware of possible sources of error to which your design exposes you. You will not produce a perfect, error free design (no one can). However, you should anticipate possible sources of error and attempt to overcome them or take them into account in your analysis. Moreover, you should disclose to the reader the sources you have identified and what efforts you have made to account for them.
Specify the statistical procedures you will use, and label them accurately (e.g., ANOVA, MANCOVA, ethnography, case study, grounded theory). If coding procedures are to be used, describe them in reasonable detail. This labeling is helpful in communicating your precise intentions to the reader, and it helps you and the reader to evaluate these intentions. Indicate briefly any analytic tools you will have available and expect to use (e.g., Ethnograph, AQUAD, SAS, SPSS, SYSTAT).
