Quantitative research
Quantitative research involves the conduct of original research, with an emphasis on reporting quantitative research method used, objective measurement of variables, statistical analysis of collected data, and conclusions based upon results of statistical analyses.
Qualitative research
Qualitative research involves the conduct of original research that typically uses non-numerical data in an effort to understand phenomena, concepts, thoughts, or experiences. In-depth insights are gained through a variety of methods, including interviews, focus groups, and participant observations. Qualitative research is exploratory and seeks to explain ‘how’ and ‘why’ a particular phenomenon, or behavior, operates as it does in a particular context.
Evidence-based practice
A problem-solving approach that integrates a systematic search for and critical appraisal of the most relevant evidence (may or may not be research based) to answer a specific clinical, education, or administrative question, and then translates/applies current best available evidence to practice.
Innovation/Invention
A report on a new invention of a product that demonstrates adherence to scholarly standards and practices, with proof of concept backed by evidence and results (may include pilot study results). Report structure may vary, but can generally be developed using the provided format.
