F

feasible, 30 subjects, researcher needs time to dedicate

I

Interesting, is the topic of interest to the researcher

N

novel, answering the research questions confirms or advances the current knowledge

E

ethical, can the study be performed without harming subjects or

participants,

R

the study’s results advance the scientific knowledge, evidence

based practice or both

Quantitative process

researchers conduct investigations to generate objective information, the process focuses the question to be researchable and specific, results are numerical

Qualitative process

researchers conduct investigations to interpret or understand phenomena, the process focuses the question to be iterative or follow a cyclical process (comments, free text responses)
