Question

which research methodology is suitable for project that use secondary data or online sources?

Answer 1

The research methodology suitable for the project that uses secondary online sources is Archival study methodology.

Under this type of research methodology, the researcher tries to collect the data from the sources that already exist. He does not contain the data from the basis of origin.

The researcher is not present at the time of collection of data, and he did not collect the data on his own. First, he is relying upon the data collected by any other researcher.

If one is using secondary data for the project, then the Archival study of research methodology would be suitable because it is only under this research methodology that we can make reference to secondary data at the time of collection of data for our research.

This research methodology would include molding or scrutinizing the data as per the requirements because there are fat chances that the motive of research of secondary data available would be quite different from the objective in hand.

Moreover, one should take care of the credibility of the secondary data he's using for his research to attain accuracy in his study.
