To keep a record of what you did and what happened throughout the research process.
What should one do if an error in the research logbook entry was committed?
Ignore the error and move on.
Tear out the page and start over.
Create a new logbook entry for the correct information.
Cross out the errors, write the correct information, and date and sign the correction.
When should you update your research logbook?
Once a month
Whenever you feel like it
Only at the end of the research project
Regularly and consistently throughout the research process
A researcher is reviewing a research proposal titled "The Effectiveness of Mindfulness Meditation for Reducing Stress in College Students."
