The page was no doubt originally intended to relate to quantitative research in the social scientific sense. Since then, however, edits have been made note how physics involves 'qualitative research'. Well, of course it does, but although the point is not trivial, it is certainly out of context. There isn't any qualitative research in physics, after all! This article should exist as the contrast of qualitative research in the positivist, social scientific sense, ie. pertaining to sociology, psychology, anthropology, and so on.--Tomsega (talk) 21:23, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Perhaps I am missing something, but is the quantitative research section subsumed within the sociology section. This seems to be the case given the large SOCIOLOGY heading on the right hand side. It may be a part of social sciences in general, but I am not sure why it is a part of sociology specifically, and not lets say, psychology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.163.250.68 (talk) 01:43, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
Quantitative research is NOT the exclusive domain of Sociology (or other social sciences, for that matter). However, the introduction clearly implies it is.
