  • The questionnaire-based survey method enables generalizability of outcomes, allows easy replication, and facilitates simultaneous investigation of a large number of factors.

    “This study adopted the questionnaire-based survey method as it enables generalizability of outcomes, allows for easy replication, and facilitates the simultaneous investigation of a large number of factors [111].”

    From Exploring the relationship between big data analytics capability and competitive performance: The mediating roles of dynamic and operational capabilities (2020) · cites this paper as [111]

    The Sampling Procedures section says representative sampling permits generalization from a sample to a population. The discussion of survey analysis describes collecting and testing data on multiple variables, which supports investigating several factors together. Our copy does not establish that questionnaire surveys are easy to replicate or that they necessarily accommodate a large number of factors. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
