Methods guidance

What to include in your methods section.

Beyond the citation, reviewers and replicators may need additional details about how the tool was used.

Software version

Specify the version string you used. The current release is Version 1.2.1. You can find dated changes on the changelog. Reviewers may want to know whether features or export formats changed between your design and data collection.

Features used

Note which Domandata features were central to your design — for example, "random assignment was implemented using Domandata's Flow canvas," or "response quotas were enforced at the arm level." This helps replicators understand the design without needing to inspect the survey directly.

Export format

If your analysis uses Domandata exports, specify the format (CSV, Stata .dta, or a replication package) and any recoding or variable naming conventions applied at export. This lets reviewers verify that the variable structure in your analysis file matches the instrument.
