Question

Every data-collection method has its own built-in biases. Therefore, resorting to multi-methods of data collection is only going to compound the biases. Critique this statement.

Answer 1

Answer

We know the fact that researchers are using different methods for collecting the data. The researcher has to collect data from authentic sources. Most of the researchers are collecting data from multiple or different sources, it helps for reducing the bias and it also helps for improving the quality of the research outcome. If we are using multi-method, it provides better results than single method study.
Use of multi-methods also helps the researcher for getting more information about the research topic and it also helps the researcher for eliminating the bias in the research process. For example, if we want to conduct a study about the satisfaction level of electric car users, for getting the authentic information we can use questionnaire, interview and we can also use published journals.
