How do you review and update your data analysis plan based on feedback or new data sources?
A data analysis plan (DAP) is a document that outlines how you will collect, process, and interpret your research data. It helps you to plan your analysis in advance, avoid errors and biases, and communicate your results effectively. However, a DAP is not a static document that you can set and forget. You may need to review and update your DAP based on feedback from your supervisors, peers, or reviewers, or new data sources that become available during your research project. In this article, we will discuss how you can review and update your DAP in six steps.
