Methods of Gathering Data for Research Purpose and Applications Using IJSER Acceptance Rate of Monthly Paper Publication (March 2012 Edition-May 2013 Edition)

Abstract

A good number of scientist or researchers find it very difficult in carrying out their research work successfully due to lack of good knowledge of data collection method and application. Data is referred to as a collection of facts, such as values or measurements, observation or even just descriptions of things. Various ways are used for data collection in research work or designs depending on the research being done by the researcher. This study focuses on the Acceptance rate of monthly IJSER paper publication (March 2012 Edition-May 2013 Edition). Simple descriptive analysis was used. The result shows that Quantitative analysis is considered to be objective, without any human bias attached to it, because it depends on the comparison of numbers according to mathematical computations. While Analysis of qualitative data is generally accomplished by methods more subjective, dependent on people's opinions, knowledge, assumptions, and inferences (and therefore biases), than that of quantitative data.
