<u> Research design is the part of the report that explains the strategy and mythology that was used in order to complete the research, gather the data, and conclude the results. </u>This part explains the plan and methods used through all the phases of the research.
The research design is often divided into <u>fixed </u>(quantitative – theory and experiment-driven, in the controlled environment) and <u>flexible </u>(qualitative – focused on first-hand experience, interviews, and more free interpretations, used for social sciences).
