This document outlines different methods for collecting experimental data in research. It discusses quantitative and qualitative data types, as well as primary and secondary sources of data. Three common data collection methods are described: questionnaires, interviews, and observation. Questionnaires can be structured or unstructured, closed or open-ended. Interviews may be conducted in-person, by telephone, in focus groups, or using depth or projective techniques. Both questionnaires and interviews are effective ways to gather information for descriptive or analytical research. The document emphasizes the importance of planning, designing, and critically examining different data collection methods in research.

valuation is a methodological area that is closely related to, but distinguishable from more traditional social research. Evaluation utilizes many of the same methodologies used in traditional social research, but because evaluation takes place within a political and organizational context, it requires group skills, management ability, political dexterity, sensitivity to multiple stakeholders and other skills that social research in general does not rely on as much.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

3. Introduction :
Data collection is one of the most important stage in conducting a research. You can have the best
research design in theworld but if you cannot collect the required data you will be not be able to
complete your project. Data collection is a very demanding job which need thorough planning ,
hard work, patience, perseverance and more to be able to complete the task successfully. Data
collection starts with determining what kind of data required followed by the selection of a sample
from a certain population. After that, you need to use a certain instrument to collect the data from
the selected sample.
Types of data :
Data can be divided into two types, namely quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative data is
numerical in nature and can be mathematically computed . Quantitative data measure uses different
scales, which can be classified as nominal scale, ordinal scale, interval scale and ratio scale.
Nominal scale is used to categorize items into different group, for example male and female,
different examination grades, different races in a country, different types of companies, different
shoe sizes and so on. The statistics that is used to analyze this type of data is mode. The second
measure for quantitative data is the ordinal scale which other than providing information as the
nominal scale does also permit ranking of the data. For example, shoe sizes can be ranked from big
to small. A typical ordinal in ranking a set of data is poor, satisfactory, good, very god, excellent. On
the other hand, an interval scale not only rank order of a set of data, it also measure the order in
units of equal intervals. However, the starting point for the measurement is arbitrary rather than
absolute.
What is data Collection?
Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an
established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated research questions, test hypotheses
and evaluate outcomes. The data collection component of research is common to all fields of study
including physical and social sciences humanities, business, etc. While methods vary by discipline,
the emphasis on ensuring accurate and honest collection remains the same. The goal for all data
collection is to capture quality evidence that then translates to rich data analysis and allows the
building of a convincing and credible answer to questions that have been posed.
4. Generally there are three types of data collection
1.Surveys: Standardized paper-and-pencil or phone questionnaires that ask predetermined
questions.
2. Interviews: Structured or unstructured one-on-one directed conversations with key individuals or
leaders in a community
3. Focus groups: Structured interviews with small groups of like individuals using standardized
questions, follow-up questions, and exploration of other topics that arise to better understand
participants
Sources of data :
Generally we can collect data from two sources, primary sources and secondary sources. Data
collected from primary sources are known as primary data and data collected from secondary
sources are called secondary data.
Primary data are also known as raw data. Data are collected from the original source in a controlled
or an uncontrolled environment. Example of a controlled environment are experimental research
where certain variables are being controlled by the researcher. On the other hand, data collected
through observation or questionnaire survey in a natural setting are examples data obtained in an
uncontrolled environment. Secondary data are data obtained from secondary sources such as
reports, books, journals, documents, magazines, the web and more.
5. The Experimental Design Process
Data Collection Methods
There are many methods to collect data, depending on our research design and the methodologies
employed. Some of the common methods are questionnaires , interview and observation.
Questionnaires Method :- âA questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of a series of
questions and other prompts for the purpose of gathering information from respondents. Although
they are often designed for statistical analysis of the responses, this is not always the case. The
questionnaire was invented by Sir Francis Galton. Questionnaires are widely used for both
quantitative and qualitative research.â (wikipedia)

Drow Conclusions
6. âQuestionnaires often use various measuring scales to obtain information from the respondents. To
obtain the bio data of the respondents, we use nominal scale as it serves as label or identification
such as gender and age, which often does not involve calculations. To gather respondents'
preferences, we use ordinal scale which is used to arrange objects or alternatives according to their
magnitude in an ordered relationship. To obtain information related to attitude, we use rating scales.
Rating asks the respondents to estimate the magnitude of a characteristic or quality regarding
certain object or thing. Questionnaire is designed both for descriptive as well as analytical surveys.
In a descriptive survey, the questionnaire will normally use nominal and ordinal scales because it
concerns primarily with the particular characteristics of a specific population of subjects. It does not
required the examination of dependent and independent variables.â
Types of Questionaire :
1) Structured Questionaire
2) Unstructured Questionaire
3) Close Questionaire
4) Open Questionaire
5) Fact/ Openion base Questionaire
Important thing's for Questionaire :
1) Follow logical relevent link for one question to another
2) Some question do not repeted avoid relevant question
3) General to specific first you ask General question and after that personal question
4) Question should follow list sensitive and most sensitive also
5) Follow from the factual and behavioural question
6) Before scraning the question you can do sample study, then frame question
7. Interview Method :- âInterveiw is the verbal conversation between two people with the objective
of collecting relevant information for the purpose of research.
Interview are particularly useful for getting the story behind a participant's experiences.â
( McNamara, 1999)
Interviews may be useful as follow-up to certain respondents.
Types of Interview's
1) Personal Interview
2) Telephone Interview
3) Focus group Interview
4) Depth Interview
5) Projective techniques
1) Personal Interview :- Is a face to face way communication between the interviewer and the
respondents. Generally the personal interview is carried out in a planned manner and is referred to
us.
2) Telephone Interview :- In Telephonic interview information is collected frm the respondent by
ask him question on the phone is called telephonic interview.
3) Focus group Interview :- Focus group interview ia an unstructured interview which involves a
moderator leading a discussion between a small group of respondent on a specific topic.
4) Depth Interview :- Depth interview is nondirective in nature where the respondent is given
freedom to answer within the boundaries of the topic of interest.
5) Projective Techniques :- Projective techniques involve the presentation of an ambiguous,
unstructured object, activity or person that a respondent is asked to interpert and explain. In
projective techniques, the respondent asked to interprert the behaviour of others and this way they
directly reveal their own behaviour in the same situaction.
8. Advantages of interview
1) Opportunity for Feedback :-âInterviewer can provide direct feedback to the respondent,
give clarifications and help alleviate any misconceptions or apprehensions over
confidentiality that the respondent may have in answering the interviewerâs questions.â
2) Length of Interview :- âIf the questionnaire is very lengthy, the personal interview is the
best technique for getting respondents to cooperate, without overtaxing their patience.â
3) Complete Questionnaires :-âPersonal ensures ensure that the respondent will answer all
questions asked, unlike in telephone interview where the respondent may hang up or in mail
questionnaire where some questions may go unanswered.â
4) High Participation :-âInterviewing respondents personally can increase the likelihood of
their participation, as many people prefer to communicate directly verbally and sharing
information and insights with interviewers.â
Observation Method :- Observation is a process of recording the behaviour patterns of people,
objects, and occurrences without questioning or communicating with them. Observation can take
the place in a laboratory setting or in a natural setting. Generally there are two ways to conduct
observation, namely non-participative observation and participative observation.
âObservation as the systematic description of events, behaviors, and artifacts in the social setting
chosen for study.â (Marshall and Rossman, 1989)
âObservation methods are useful to researchers in a variety of ways. They provide researchers with
ways to check for nonverbal expression of feelings, determine who interacts with whom, grasp how
participants communicate with each other, and check for how much time is spent on various
activities.â (SCHMUCK, 1997)
âThe main advantage of observation as compared to questionnaire survey is you can obtain richer
and more in-depth information. You can able to catch phenomena, characteristics, activities and
other things impossible to detect by questionnaire survey.â
9. Observation is two Types
1) Participant observation
2) non-participant observation
âParticipant observation as the primary method used by anthropologists doing fieldwork. Fieldwork
involves active looking, improving memory, informal interviewing, writing detailed field notes, and
perhaps most importantly,
patience.â (DeMunck and Sobo, 1998)
âNon-participant observation is observation with limited interaction with the people one observes.
Researchers who study how people communicate often want to examine the details of how people
talk and behave together. Non-participant observation involving the use of recording devices might
be a good choice This data collection approach results in a detailed recording of the communication
and provides the researcher with access to the contours of talk.â
Types of Research data Collection Techniques :
10. Conclusion
Data Collection means putting your design for collecting information into operation. Youâve
decided how youâre going to get information â whether by direct observation, interviews, surveys,
experiments and testing, or other methods. Recording and arranging information may take
distinctive structures, contingent upon the sort of data you're gathering.
