Good luck with choosing a research method that doesn't fail. It's a challenge. I think my methods could improve as well. It's helpful to many new researchers to get inspiration. What do you think makes or breaks a good research methodology?

I'd aim for rich, detailed descriptions in my methodology. And for as much depth and context as my data allows. Here are 7 qualitative methods I love: 1. Ethnography 2. Case Study 3. Phenomenology 4. Grounded Theory 5. Content Analysis 6. Action Research 7. Historical Research

Winning a Nobel prize is easy. After 10,000 hours studying 1,000+ winners, I’ve broken it down to this simple success formula: 1. Study/work with a previous winner 2. Work in the west 3. Be a man 4. Be white 5. Be old (I’m kidding. Be offended if you must.)
