Saber Pro Investigación Jurídica common mistakes
Saber Pro Investigación Jurídica · Understand the traps and how to avoid them.
Use a slogan as the complete research question
A preferred policy result does not define a workable investigation.
What to do instead
Identify the legal or institutional object and the specific question.
Confuse a collection activity with an objective
Collecting records does not state what knowledge the project seeks.
What to do instead
Connect each activity to a defensible objective and evidence need.
Treat public opinion as proof of legal validity
Empirical attitudes and the legal status of a norm answer different questions.
What to do instead
Use the appropriate legal sources and distinguish the empirical inference.
Hide contrary or amended authority
Selective presentation can change the apparent legal picture.
What to do instead
Track versions and status and address material contrary evidence.
Assume a large opt-in sample is representative
Coverage and self-selection problems can remain despite sample size.
What to do instead
Describe the frame, selection and limits of generalization.
Treat randomization as exact guaranteed balance
Chance imbalance can remain in actual groups.
What to do instead
Use the design and analysis appropriately and examine material differences.
Use internal consistency as proof of validity
Consistent items can still miss or distort the intended concept.
What to do instead
Evaluate the interpretation, construct coverage and relevant evidence.
Code every missing response as zero
Refusal or inapplicability is not automatically a real measured zero.
What to do instead
Keep documented categories and apply an appropriate analysis plan.
