In social sciences and later in other disciplines' the following two research !ethods can be applied' depending on the properties of the sub/ect !atter and on the ob/ective of the researchN
Research is often conducted using the hourglass !odel *tructure of Research. he hourglass !odel starts with a broad spectru! for research' focusing in on the required infor!ation through the !ethodology of the pro/ect (like the neck of the hourglass)' then expands the research in the for! of discussion and results.
