When should researchers obtain informed consent from participants?
After publishing study results
While conducting the literature review

To overcome self-selection bias in survey research, what should researchers consider doing?
Utilize open-ended questions exclusively to capture detailed personal experiences.
Collect data at various times of day to ensure different demographics are included.
Randomly select participants from the population rather than allowing volunteers only.
Increase the length of surveys to gather more comprehensive data per respondent.
Why should researchers evaluate multiple sources before drawing conclusions?

Data from one source is usually sufficient for valid results.
More sources can confuse readers about what to believe.
To ensure comprehensive understanding & avoid bias.

Why would you consider whether evidence in literature is up-to-date during your review?
To ensure relevance and accuracy in light of recent developments.
Because all high-quality research must cite only contemporary works.
To guarantee there are enough references older than ten years.
Solely to meet word count requirements through numerous citations.
