Benefits of data triangulation

by Trương Vũ Như Hiếu - Wednesday, 28 January 2015, 9:45 AM

The triangulation of data strengthens your research and allows you to write a better research paper because of the following benefits.

Additional sources of information often give more insight into a topic
Inadequacies found in one-source data is minimized when multiple sources confirm the same data
Multiple sources provide verification and validity while complementing similar data
More comprehensive data is obtained
Data and information is supported in multiple places/types of research, which makes it easier to analyze data to draw conclusions and outcomes
Inconsistencies in data sets are more easily recognized
