• Ways research is collected and formed
• Explanation of why specific methods were used
  
• Important that Data was collected or generated in a way that is consistent with accepted practice in the field of study
• The methodology should also discuss the problems of the research and ways to prevent it

This article provided important information about the steps of research.  We also discussed these differnt apsects of the research process in class that clarified what this source was going over. I found it interesting to incorporate the errors of the data collected in the despriction of the methodology.

I liked this article because it numbered the different aspects and broke them down into how they are important.  I also liked that at the end, the article provided tips on ways to write a method section.  Each steps of process was not only explained but also provided examples as well which I found very helpful.
