Academic Writing for Method Part

This is a blog for myself to keep track the method for academic writing. It will be updated over time The function of a method section: 

1. Data sources: Primacy or secondary data sources 

2. Where the data is accessed 

3. Limitation and gaps in the data, how the limitation is dealt with 

4. Analytical lens used to interpret the data: consistent with the research question and the theoretical framework. 

5. Potential bias on objectivity that my occur as a result of using this particular analytic frame and not another 

6. Paper section: 

• a. Outline research question 
• b. Motivation for the research question
• c. Prior literature or research on the question 
• d. Method section
