On an exhilarating journey of a research study and with potential process to step in, one can be assured of a long ride through literature to pick up an appropriate research design. This can look like one of the delicate tasks one might have, even though generations have gone through the similar procedure. The accepted opinion is that the more choice, the better; and in the midst of very best kinds, the human ability to deal with, and the aspiration for selection is limitless. Having more choices is necessarily motivating than having fewer. This might also come to terms with the researcher’s visualization to make the study more valid and reliable compared to the preceding body of evidences. Better said, than done, it is easy to say that one can or will do something, but is much more difficult to actually do it. It appears, then, that one will face uncertainty and complexity on research journey. As with any activity, a little forethought opens up to down-to-earth chances for accomplishment. When choice is essential, with divine patience, the researcher has to explore various types of research designs.
