An excellent quantitative research study has the following characteristics.1. It is focused on an important problem somewhere in the global community. 2. Potential biases of the researchers are identified and managed throughout the research process. 3. The researchers state clear aims or ask clear research questions that are not ambiguous (Dodgson, 2020) and can be accomplished/answered; they also develop corresponding testable hypotheses to guide the data analysis process. 4. The selected research design is suitable for addressing the study aims or questions and hypotheses, if applicable. 5. The initial research proposal and the study reports and articles are internally consistent throughout. 6. All aspects of the research process are reported in a transparent manner so that readers, teachers, mentors, and manuscript reviewers can understand how the study was conducted and critique the quality of the study.Polit and Beck (2017) summed up these characteristics very well in the introductory paragraph to their chapter about theoretical frameworks and conceptual models.
