what are some challenges in obtaining accurate research data?

a challenge would be in obtaining the info from an accurate source n presenting their credibility. teachers rlly look for that in big papers.

It depends on what the topics are, but normally the google scholar search is helpful.  It can pull up a bunch of different research materials:\nhttp://scholar.google.com/

<>Sources of error refers to potential points or places in the research/study that could give erroneous results.

1. Define the object of the research\n2. Plan the procedure to obtain the objective on paper\n3. Determine the personnel needed for the execution\n4. Determine the equipment and material needed for proper implementation\n5. Start building the project and staffing it\n6. Start and monitor the research\n7. Adjust if need be and start over\n8. Get the results and study them\n9. Repeat\n10. Draw conclusions\n11. Write the final report.

I am not quite sure what the question is. What should the manufacturer do? Did they already do the experiments or do you want to know what sort of experiments to do? Do you want to know how to reduce the data? How to present the data? What statistical tools might be useful?

If you're researching, try using some search engines. \nDo your own work!

Try checking the WHO (world health organisation) website, that would be your best chance to get accurate data.

Good research which can survive the scrutiny of knowledgeable peers should be published. Why the scrutiny? SO that we do not get bogged down in mountains of poorly designed experiments, questionable data and misguided conclusions.  Of course, there is the chance that the reviewing peers may be personally overly critical of the work of a commpeting colleague, but good research will still win through. I, myself, had a reviewer sit on one of my manuscripts for 6 months until I compained to the publisher that unless a response came soon I would go to another peer-reviewed journal. Do not feel that the critical review is a personal attack. It is just how we keep the structure and integrity of science intact.

See, I've had the same thought.  It seems a form of laziness and cheating to come on here and ask for answers.  But to be fair, coming here and asking IS finding online information.  It's a novel approach to research but then, so was the Internet 10 or 12 years ago.  I think getting the information should maybe not be the main focus today like it use to be -- maybe we should work on HOW they get the information.  Teach a variety of strategies and compel students to use them, not just one.

It all depends on how accurate your data needs to be. Anyone can contribute to a Wikipedia entry. So remember, when you are looking up, say "Nuclear Fusion", the text you see could have been co-written by a nuclear expert AND some dork like me who thinks he knows everything. So, the answer to your question is that.....your reliance on information from Wikipedia should be relative to your need for accuracy.  The greater your need for accuracy, the deeper you should probe for sources. Wikipedia CAN BE wrong...and if you are going to design some nuclear experiment, relying solely on Wikipedia might make you glow in the dark (which is only a good thing this time of year if you are a certain reindeer).

Not enough data to properly answer question.

This is a good site on how to do research.\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/workshops/hypertext/ResearchW/index.html

You need to be more specific.\n\nHowever:\nThere are secondary variables - unintentional variations other than those variable you are testing.  The way to avoid this, such as noise, is to either find a way to eliminate it or make it uniform.\n\nA large sample size will make an experiment more accurate.\n\nDouble-blind studies (one where the research assistant administering the test does not know what is being tested for and therefor cannot influence the results) are good.\n\nIn any case, I cannot really answer further unless I know more about the study.

Having an interest in a narrowed down topic that is phrased in the form of a question. Researching the question is fun, especially if you find resources or even one resource that gives you a new take on the subject and is a valid piece of information. Putting together and evaluating the information from several sources and using the correct research paper format is always a feeling of accomplishment.\n\nChow!!

I am an academic marketing researcher but I've never seen any figures on the % of market research done online.  In academia, we tend to shy away from collecting primary data online because many people don't use the Internet much, if at all.  That means that data collected this way will be skewed towards the type of people that fill out questionnaires online.  This may not be a problem you want to sample this type of people, but if you are trying to get opinions from elderly people, for example, online data collection is definitely NOT the way to go.  Hope this helps.

There is one at the website below; the data are not complete.  (It had 1 of the 2 items I tried to look up.)  But, you can submit data, so it can get more complete.
