2. Methodology: The choice of research methodology has a significant impact on the effectiveness of the research. The methodology should be appropriate for the research question and data collection method.

3. Sample Size: The size of the sample can affect the quality of the data collected. A sufficient sample size can provide reliable results for the research.

4. Data Collection: The method used to collect data, whether it is through interviews, surveys, or observation can influence the quality of data and the validity of the results.

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.
