Application of data quality objectives and measurement quality objectives to research projects.
This paper assists systematic planning for research projects. It presents planning concepts in terms that have some utility for researchers. For example, measurement quality objectives are more familiar to researchers than data quality objectives because these quality criteria are more closely associated with the measurement systems being used. Because of the diverse nature of research, it is not possible to describe cookbook-style planning procedures to be used in all cases. Instead, several general concepts and techniques are presented and researchers can choose those techniques that best fit their specific projects. Examples are presented to illustrate the techniques.
