Data analysis was concurrent with data collection to identify when data saturation was reached.
The constant data comparison method was utilized concurrently with data collection to ascertain when data saturation (or information redundancy) for each weight-related topic was realized and data collection should terminate [ 60, 64].
Considerations with respect to confidentiality will be addressed during data collection to reduce bias when participants are completing the questionnaire.
This could be a realistic scenario in practice, for example, when a questionnaire study that measures two traits is extended during the data collection to include two additional traits, or when data from different studies are combined (one study in which all four traits were measured, while another study only included measurements of two traits for, e.g., economical reasons).
For example, in our first paper, inclinometer data was shown to be the most costly posture assessment method during the data collection phase when compared to video observation and self-reported postural data.
An experiment is sometimes pejoratively referred to as a fishing expedition if no specific predictions are advanced prior to data collection, especially when multiple hypotheses are tested.
Microenvironment monitoring aims to address some of the exposure assessment challenges [ 33], but its suitability has been hampered by high costs related to data collection especially when dealing with a large cohort [ 34].
Advantages of internet data collection, when compared to the traditional paper-and-pencil format, include reduced costs, automatic database creation, and the absence of researcher-related bias effects, such as availability and complete anonymity.
The intervention was time-limited and data collection ended when it came to a close.
The process of data collection stopped when we began to notice repetition of information--almost verbatim--from different study participants.
