Data gathering for science and research

J. Vaníček
Czech University of Agriculture, Prague, Czech Republic

Reasoning and argumentation in empirical sciences and research is based on row data and the intermediate and final structures, calculations etc., derived from the raw data. In this contribution, the short survey of the different techniques to gather raw data is given. The gain of the paper should consist in the manifestation of explicit limitation of usage this data for further utilization and deductions depending on the scaling type and validity problems during data gathering.

Keywords: data gathering, categorisation, observation, measurement, scale type, data validation
