Take care to avoid pitfalls in research

Practical strategies to avoid the pitfalls in grounded theory research.

How can grounded theory researchers develop integrated conceptual analysis? In this paper, the authors use lessons learnt during a study of clinical judgment in nursing to offer practical strategies that avoid some of the pitfalls commonly encountered during grounded theory research.

How to avoid pitfalls in antibody use

Antibody use is ubiquitous in the biomedical sciences. However, determining best research practices has not been trivial. Many commercially available antibodies and antibody-conjugates are poorly characterized and lack proper validation. Uncritical application of such useless tools has contributed to the reproducibility crisis in biomedical research. Despite early initiatives such as MIAPAR or ...

Verifying Propositional Unsatisfiability: Pitfalls to Avoid

The importance of producing a certi cate of unsatis ability is increasingly recognized for high performance propositional satis ability solvers. The leading solvers develop a con ict graph as the basis for deriving (or \learning") new clauses. Extracting a resolution derivation from the con ict graph is theoretically straightforward, but it turns out to have some surprising practical pitfalls (...

Pitfalls to avoid when merging information systems.

When healthcare organizations merge, their goal often is to improve operational efficiencies, with information systems (IS) a common target for cost reduction. These cost reductions usually are achieved by reducing staff, consolidating data centers, establishing standardized systems, and sharing resources throughout the system. During this process, however, several common pitfalls can cause mer...
