Writing Strategies for Describe the Study

This book is running in a long beta. Revisions are currently underway. Check back in January 2025 for updated content.

Now that we have introduced the Strategies that lead up to the study details, we need to discuss the Strategies that are used to Describe the Study in depth. Describe the Study contains information about how the data were acquired for the study (including a description of the data), how the experimental procedures were conducted (including a description of variables, tools, instruments, materials, equipment, and preliminary results), and  rationales for some or all experimental procedures. There are three Strategies that are often used to Describe the Study: Describe Data Acquisition, Delineate Procedures, and Rationalize Study Decisions.
