超学際的な研究課題としての磁気応用 興味ある磁気応用

This paper discusses biomagnetic effects and their possible applications that are unfamiliar to cryogenic and superconducting engineers. Biomagnetism is exotic applied magnetics and a transdisciplinary research target. There are two types of research methodology, physical and epidemiological. They are quite different. Both methodologies should be harmonized. The author proposes how to work in this transdisciplinary field. Finally, suggestions of guidelines for studing exotic phenomena are presented.

Secondary Data Analysis

This article presents a description of secondary data analysis and suggests that this type of research methodology may be helpful in facilitating research by the clinical nurse specialist (CNS). The article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the use of this method specifically in relation to the CNS and offers suggestions for sources of data.

Dissertation research in school psychology, 1978–1980

Programs granting doctoral degrees in school psychology were surveyed to ascertain the nature of the dissertation research completed during the years 1978–1980. Dissertations were classified by program directors or the authors as to subject area of study, type of research methodology, and types of subjects. Trends in each of these areas of classification were examined by comparing the data from the present study with data from the previous efforts of Tindall (1968) and Ysseldyke and Pickholtz (1975). Also, a comparison was made between dissertation content and the professional literature, as well as an examination of the difference between PhD and EdD school psychology dissertations.

The historical‐critical type of research: A re‐examination

The Historical‐Critical type of research, one of the four basic approaches to scholarly investigation, is constantly subjected to criticism by persons who conceive of it as less useful than the other types and also by persons who seek to improve it. This article reviews several adverse criticisms in both categories, suggests possible answers to these criticisms, and outlines means of securing the best of quality in this type of research methodology.
