Abstract
This chapter aims to
• provide a brief overview of some of the main strategies and techniques for data analysis appropriate to the small-scale research project.
• direct you to other texts that can offer further support in the area which most suits your data analysis. Greater consideration is given to qualitative data as it is perhaps more appropriate for the small scale research study; although some issues are discussed in relation to the analysis of quantitative data.
