Conducting your research

Conducting your research

This section of the guidebook provides information about things that you should consider once you have all the permissions you need to begin your work – whether you are collecting data, conducting secondary analysis, or carrying out a review.

You can refer back to our section on Building Ethics into the Research Design for more detailed discussion of key issues such as consent.

The information in this section of the guidebook is focused on research that involves collecting data (from people).  See also our sections on literature reviews and systematic reviews and on secondary analysis.
