    •The data collection instruments
    (existing, modified, or newly developed)
    and clearly delineated instructions for
    their correct use reduce the likelihood of
    errors.
    improperly collected data include
    •Inability to answer research questions accurately
    •Inability to repeat and validate the study
    •Distorted findings resulting in wasted resources
    •Misleading other researchers to pursue fruitless
    avenues of investigation
    •Compromising decisions for public policy
    •Causing harm to human participants and animal

    CONCLUSION

    • Unfortunately, it also has many potential
    problems.
    • However with CAREFUL planning, many
    issues can be avoided altogether.
    • This type of data-collection remains a
    decision that the research must weigh
    carefully
    SUMMARY
    •Data collection is described as the
    “process of gathering and measuring
    information on variables of interest, in
    an established systematic fashion that
    enables one to answer queries, stated
    research questions, test hypotheses, and
