commres-research-design

separate

Use when defending the research design of a Communication Research (CR) manuscript — experiments (lab/online), panel surveys, and content analysis with intercoder reliability. CR is quantitative and demanding about identification, measurement, and confound control. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.

When to use

• Specifying an experiment, panel survey, or content-analysis protocol
• Defending causal claims, sampling, coding reliability, validity, or confound control
• Preparing a preregistration or pre-analysis plan
• Justifying why the design adjudicates the rival account
• Validating automated measures against human-coded samples
• Estimating and auditing the design using StatsPAI or Stata MCP

When not to use

• Writing code
