Where we report our study in enough detail so that other researchers can replicate the same study and find the same or similar results. Important because if they can find the same results then we know our data is accurate. Provide in our report precise descriptions of research variables and procedures used to measure them. Define the words that may seem vague in your report, provide a definition for those.
