Materials are any physical or abstract items used in applying the method. The term “resource” may be preferred to “material”. For example, in conducting their research, some investigators may rely upon a group of people as their resource for information. Materials/resources can be equipment, natural or man-made substances, computer or mathematical models, questionnaires, artifacts, biological specimens, or human subjects. Well-known material in your field need to be briefly identified only; unique or unconventional resources must be described and justified in detail. 2.
