The research should also be reproducible, therefore a 'decision trail' of the research process was made clear.
The information derived from the records of the panel meeting would be systematically recorded to provide an auditable trail of the decision making process and to provide quantifiable information to support performance reports and to drive further service improvement.
If no more statements are available in the trail then the process of creating a syntax tree table stops.
There was no mention of computer-assisted randomisation, and no audit trail to ensure reliability of the process.
At the outset, three avenues of inquiry presented themselves: to follow the electronic trail left by the process of releasing material on the web. to follow electronic clues left in the hacked servers at UEA's Climatic Research Unit (CRU).
This lack of an independent, external party and a defined audit trail reduces the process validity, leaving it exposed to tampering, resulting in a less robust trial design.
An audit trail of the research and analysis process, including all coding procedures, was documented.
An audit trail of the research and analysis process, including all coding procedures, was documented by Edward M. Giesbrecht [ 48].
Prior to the realisation of the trials, the supervisors introduced the participants to the objective of the trails and the process that would be followed, also handed to them in printed form.
Together with the post-interview memos, these notes provide an audit trail giving a transparent account of the process.
