5. Analysis: The analysis of data should be conducted in a rigorous and systematic manner. This includes data cleaning, coding, and interpretation.
6. Funding: Availability of funding may impact the scope and quality of research.
7. Researcher expertise: The skill and expertise of the researcher in carrying out the research and interpreting the results are critical to the effectiveness of the research.
8. Timeframe: The length of time for research can affect the depth of data collected and the ability to conduct in-depth analysis.
9. Ethics: Ethical considerations such as informed consent, confidentiality, and privacy can influence the effectiveness of the research.
10. Context: The cultural, social, and economic context within which the research is conducted can also impact the effectiveness of the research.
