Abstract

This HERDSA Guide takes a new approach to higher degree research supervision by conceptualizing the research task via what we call the Research Matrix. The matrix links methodology, design and practical realities in one view using the research questions as the key focus. It uses a two dimensional framework like a spreadsheet. In the early stages the research questions (and sub questions) form the first columns) and then design and methodological features are added as they develop. In the latter stages, its multi-dimensional nature helps to keep control of the project in terms of time, breadth and depth.
