Research techniques

 Research techniques are different to research methods as techniques are just things such as keeping all of your research tidy and presentable for other people to read along with knowing how to store the data you collect from searching around such things as the Google or other search engines. These are very important skills that need to be learned when doing any sort of research.

A form of research technique I have used recently is by using surveys, surveys are great way to get research as you can make charts on what certain target audiences want and things of that nature. And also it’s very efficient and time saving has you can get a lot of people to answer your survey and you get lots of data really quickly.

Similar to surveys, interviews also our great way to get information and data as you get to know more about individual people in your target audience but the downside of it is that it takes more time.

To store/keep all the information and data you have found out through various different methods you can store all of this on a hard drive, ssd, USB stick Or you could use the college internal storage network and this will keep all of your data safe from being lost.

Ways to help you collate your work and keep it organised and understandable is to have a link to sources, dates, names of people who write articles this can all be linked together in a way of linking research that is called Harvard referencing which can be used to find sources you have used in the past.
