What is a methodological report?
A methodological report is a commonly published document that accompanies a publication of research findings or sometimes in a bid proposal to conduct research, which aims to specify in detail how the collected data will be analysed. Therefore It is designed to be read by an academic, specialist or technical audience.
The main thing that your methodological report does is outline your chosen technique for analysing data and justify it. In addition to this, your methodological report needs to convince the reader of your competency as an analyst. In order to meet this aim you need to provide evidence of applying your techniques of organising, summarising, coding, and interpreting your data, to the dataset you have been given.
