Funding Sources

Article aims to systematize the knowledge acquired in the independent international research on the determinants of financing enterprises using trade credit by conducting a meta-analysis for the main groups of factors taken into account in the models: debt, liquidity, company size, profitability, stocks and growth opportunities. On the basis of publications review devoted to funding sources, 26 companies using trade credit from suppliers are selected. A database containing information about 232 of the estimated models is built. A logit model is estimated to identify the characteristics of trials and research methods determinants influencing the importance of trade credit finance companies. Results of the effect of debt financing on commercial credit utilization depend on the country and the characteristics of surveyed enterprises.

And Child Health

This chapter provides an overview of research methods used to build the evidence base for global maternal and child health. It covers primary data collection, secondary data analysis, systematic reviews, and meta-analysis, and provides tips on how to interpret the scientific literature. This chapter should be read in conjunction with Chapters 1–3, Chapter 5 on economic evaluation, and Chapter 4 on converting research into policy to put the use of research evidence into context. The three key points from this chapter are: (1) you need to clearly define a research question before deciding what study type is best suited to answer it; (2) designing a research study involves detailed attention to practical details, including how groups are going to be defined; and (3) scientific studies are sometimes published with incorrect conclusions. Critically appraise each study, and define appropriate conclusions that are based on the data and methodology.

The study addresses the issues of exclusion from the supplementary part of the Polish pension system. The main goals of the research are: 1) characterising retirement exclusion as a specific type of financial exclusion, and 2) identifying and assessing key determinants of retirement exclusion in the supplementary part of the Polish pension system. The article is epistemological and classifying in nature. In the review part, the research methods used are based on a critical analysis of the literature and a synthesis of its conclusions. The main part is based on a meta-analysis of the results of surveys regarding pension awareness and propensity to save, elements of the economic analysis of law, and analysis of existing data. The presented considerations lead to the formulation of arguments, that justify the thesis that the scale and extent of retirement exclusion in the supplementary part of the Polish pension system are a derivative of factors included in four meta-categories: 1. low pension awareness, 2. low saving potential, 3. low propensity to save, and 4. limited availability of pension products.

The Relationship

The article discusses issues related to the effectiveness of diagnostics of persistent infections. Using PRRS as an example, the relationship between “disease stages” and “diagnostic stages” is discussed on the basis of a meta-analysis of data from diagnostic studies (n = 4307 results) presented in refereed scientific papers to understand the key points. Despite the ongoing improvement of diagnostic methods, none of them individually can be recognized as the only correct decision: the choice of the type of sample and test for research depends on the specific task. In most cases, to establish the true picture of an epizootic, it is necessary to use several research methods and / or types of samples.

This article focuses on academic publication on hate speech within Indonesia’s scholarly context. The authors analyse the ongoing discourse on hate speech by conducting a meta-analysis method on Garuda, an official website designed for repository of scholarly publications in Indonesia. By examined 143 scientific articles, this study found that most studies refer to the definition of hate speech from the Circular No. SE/06/X2015 on hate speech issued by the Indonesian National Police which shows how most Indonesian academics were comfortable in using limited perspectives on hate speech. Furthermore, the variety of the studies on hate speech comes from law or legal studies and communication or da'wah communication. Most Indonesia academics also conducted studies on hate speech with a juridical normative approach, as well as qualitative research. Intriguingly, some studies have been done with unclear method and approaches. Academics ideally should serve as one of the critics for people in power and government apparatus, for example by continuing to question how hate speech is studied, including in the context of its definition and how it affects the implementation in Indonesia. Hence, the authors urged Indonesian academics to do more studies on hate speech from various backgrounds with more rigorous and various research methods to be able to expand the knowledge on hate speech cases in Indonesia.

Quantitative Research Methods

This book is concerned with the conceptual foundations of research methods. In particular, it undertakes a philosophical examination of a number of different quantitative research methods that are prominent in, or relevant for, the conduct of research in the behavioral sciences. By doing so, the deep structure of the methods is examined in order to overcome the shallow and uncritical understanding that is typically provided by textbooks and other instructional sources. The methods submitted to critical examination are important and mostly well known. They are exploratory data analysis, statistical significance testing, Bayesian confirmation theory and statistics, meta-analysis, and exploratory factor analysis. The treatment of the research methods examined is consistent with a philosophy of scientific realism. Theories of scientific method feature prominently in the discussions of the research methods. Each chapter contains a Further Reading section in order to help the reader extend their thinking beyond what the chapters contain.
