Data Acquisition: " Data selection is the process of identifying appropriate data types and sources, as well as suitable instruments to obtain the data. This determination is often discipline-specific and is primarily driven by the nature of the research study, existing literature, and accessibility of desired data sources. Data selection should precede actual data collection. Clear selection standards set in advance help prevent selective data reporting later – that is, selectively excluding data that are not supportive of a research hypothesis." - [|CITI]
