• Was informed consent obtained from the subjects or participants?
• Did it seem that the subjects participated voluntarily in the study?
• Was institutional review board approval obtained from the agency in which the study was conducted?

• Are the major variables (independent and dependent variables) identified and defined? What were these variables?

• Identify the time period for data collection of the study.
• Describe the sequence of data collection events for a participant.

maintaining a paper trail of critical decisions that were made during the analysis of the data? Was statistical
software used to ensure accuracy of the analysis?
• What measures were used to minimize the effects of researcher bias (their experiences and perspectives)? For
example, did two researchers independently analyze the data and compare their analyses?
• What is the researcher’s interpretation of findings?
• Are the findings valid or an accurate reflection of reality? Do you have confidence in the findings?
• What limitations of the study were identified by researchers?
• Was there a coherent logic to the presentation of findings?
