Match the most suitable RQ framework based on research type.
HARD-GATE
Pipeline
- Precondition check: Is the research direction and type clear
- Type determination: Determine the research type (quantitative intervention / qualitative exploration / evaluation / mixed)
- Framework matching: Match candidate frameworks based on type
- Applicability assessment: Assess the applicability of each candidate framework
- Recommendation: Select the most suitable framework + rationale
- Output: Recommended framework + candidate comparison table
Framework Knowledge Base
| Framework | Applicable research type | Core components | Strengths | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PICO/PICOTS | Quantitative/intervention | P-I-C-O(-T-S) | Clear structure, widely recognized | Not suitable for qualitative research |
| SPIDER | Qualitative | S-PI-D-E-R | Designed specifically for qualitative | Not suitable for intervention research |
| SPICE | Evaluation | S-P-I-C-E | Evaluation-oriented | Narrower scope |
| ECLIPSE | Mixed methods | E-C-L-I-P-S-E | Comprehensive, suitable for complex research | Many components, may be excessive |
