Research Methodology
The research methodology section describes the worldview or philosophy, the
underpinning practices and procedures for conducting and replicating your research, and the type
or research study this is (observation, field, natural, or quasi- experiment). It also informs
scholars and practitioners regarding the rigor and the appropriateness of your methodology in

recommended that studies that do not intend to interact with human subjects apply and receive
approval from the IRB to prevent unintended harm to others and the loss of the resulting research
data. Please be certain to use the BGS specific IRB forms and procedures.
All research regardless of whether or not it interacts with humans must apply to and be
approved by the IRB. All research involving human interaction must include a signed informed
consent form. Subjects under the age of eighteen and others who are not able to sign for
themselves are not included in BGS student research. You will need to keep the consent forms
and information confidential and separate from the data. Confidentiality means that you may not
