Issues in Research and Causes

In the research process, some issues usually arise from the process. One of the issues is data collection and quality issues. In the research process, when data is inappropriate, it gives less credible and less valid decisions that are not a true representation of the study population. The causes of these issues include researchers collecting inadequate data, constant data inaccuracies, failing to notice incomplete datasets, and needing help retrieving or accessing data for the research.

The second issue is a methodological challenge. It is an issue because the researcher needs to know the appropriate methodology to use in the data collection process. The research process might be developed well right from the introduction and literature review section, but when it comes to selecting the right research methodology, it becomes a challenge. It is an issue that affects the research process (Cooper & Schindler, 2014). Among the causes of the issue include using a poor research design. There are also causes emerging from flawed methodologies and the researcher conducting inadequate sampling. The inadequate sample used in this case will not give a true reflection of the population.

Another issue is the literature problem, whereby the researcher or the research process must use the required literature
