Individual skill

research-methodology

A specialized skill providing a detailed framework for academic research methodology design. Used by the methodology-expert agent when designing quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods research and selecting samples, instruments, and analysis methods. Automatically applied in contexts such as 'research methodology', 'research design', 'sample design', 'measurement instruments', 'validity and reliability', 'statistical analysis methods'. However, running statistical software (SPSS, R) directly and filing IRB applications are outside the scope of this skill.
