Preparing analysis and reporting our findings

Once we have collected and set up our data for analysis through coding and entry into a data file - or we have obtained data collected by other researchers -, we can begin the key task of analysis. As this is not a module on statistical analysis, we will not consider the details and technicalities of analysis. Instead, we will discuss a number of important issues to consider when undertaking data analysis; namely: deriving variables for analysis, choosing a method of data analysis and reporting our findings.
