For this research study, the investigator will practice both data collection method like primary
3 | P a g e

and secondary data collection method. From the use of primary data gathering technique, the
investigator will practice survey through questionnaire and collect the views and opinion of the
research candidates about research issue. The primary data is collected by considering many
sources such as survey through a questionnaire, interview, and observation. Apart from this, the
secondary data collection will enable the researcher to get theoretical information about research
matter from the existing sources (Ledford and Gast, 2018). The researcher will consider many
sources to conduct the research and obtain reliable outcomes like academic journals, books,
articles, and online and offline sources.
Ethical Consideration
For the research, the ethics concept is connected with completing each activity of the study in a
reliable way by considering the university regulations and participant’s privacy. The ethical
norms facilitate research scholar to accomplish the research goal (Flick, 2015). There are certain
factors that are considered in the ethical research like confidentiality, integrity, and
communication. In addition, it is evaluated that research scholar will make the integrity with their
research participants to systematically accomplish the aim and objectives of the research. Apart
from this, the researcher will use the ethical norms and conduct an appropriate conversation with
their research candidates during research as it will be effective for the attainment of research aim
and objectives (Vaioleti, 2016). It could lead to getting the reliable outcome. The researcher will
also secure all the confidential information of the research participants as it could be effective for
getting a reliable result (Mackey and Gass, 2015). Apart from this, a researcher will also
concentrate on certain factors that could create ethical issues like the copyright act’s violation,
plagiarism, and data fracturing (Ledford and Gast, 2018). These issues could be eliminated by
the researcher by offering full credit to their authors. In this, the researcher will provide an
authentic citation in each paragraph as it increases research outcome authenticity (Flick,
2015). For eliminating the similarity of the report, the research scholar will practice the simple
language and collect appropriate information. Moreover, research scholar will take the
appointment to the research participants prior to starting this research. Through this method, the

research scholar will be capable to obtain the reliable information. The researcher will also secure
all the confidential information of the research participants as it could be effective for getting a
