At the onset of mtDNA genomics, the monophyly of Arthropoda received strong corroboration through the study of GOs (Boore et al. 1995).
The specificity of the deficit for C9ORF72-associated frontotemporal dementia requires further corroboration through comparison with larger cohorts of patients representing other forms of genetic and sporadic frontotemporal dementia.
The family affluence scale used in this study has been found to be a good proxy indicator for measuring young people's socio-economic status [ 39], however the findings here would benefit corroboration through use of different measures of SES in future studies.
The "exploratory" case research method used in this study finds its rigor through corroboration by multiple sources (e.g. interviews, documents, direct observation), richness of insight, and provision of multiple explanations for the same phenomena [ 12].
By basing the analysis on relative changes in aspect ratio within a single sedimentary record, this approach avoids adopting a specific threshold ratio from another study, and by relating changes in fire regime to another relevant parameter (in this case Milankovitch cycles) obtains greater certainty through corroboration.
Data analysis proceeded in six main stages as follows: development of a code manual; test reliability of codes; identification of initial themes emerging from the data; utilization of the code manual to apply codes to entire transcripts whilst noting emerging codes; connection of codes into themes and corroboration of themes through interpretation of analysis [ 26].
The notes and records of her observations, conversations and salons act to triangulate, through corroboration and elaboration (Hammersley and Atkinson, 1983; Creswell, 1998), the archive of material provided by the practitioners' own records and reflections regarding the activities and experiences of each session.
Indicators from multiple data streams are used so that uncertainty in one indicator can be hedged through careful interpretation and corroboration of information from alternative indicators.
With the introduction of the new concept, Popper was able to represent this as an essentially optimistic position in terms of which we can legitimately be said to have reason to believe that science makes progress towards the truth through the falsification and corroboration of theories.
Results were compared and linkages made between these various data sources allowing for confirmation, corroboration, and validation of study results through a triangulation process.
Akin to other cohorts, our study included patients with a history of at least 50 years of insulin dependence, as acknowledged through medical documentation or corroboration by a family member [ 24, 25].
