research methods.

Primary research involves the collection of data that doesn't already exist.
examples; questionnaires, interviews and textual analysis.
- I will aim to use this quite a lot as i want my own information about magazines rather than using other peoples for example I will be doing a lot of my own textual analysis of existing magazines.
Secondary research involves the summary and collection of existing research.
examples; internet websites, cenus and books.
- I would use this when its come to things like finding facts and figures about the magazines and also for finding things like definitions, or information about existing material.
Qualitative research is that which involves words or a persons personal response.
Quantitive research is research that can be measured and evaluated to show trends or patterns.
