Abstract

This is the second article of a three-part series that continues the discussion on the fundamentals of writing research protocols for quantitative, clinical research studies. In this editorial, the author discusses some considerations for including information in a research protocol on the study design and approach of a research study. This series provides a guide for under graduate researchers interested in publishing their protocol in the Undergraduate Research in Natural and Clinical Sciences and Technology (URNCST) Journal.
