Amorphitative research is the least reliable method of data collection. Quantitative research data is the most reliable and rigorous form of data, usually involving large sample sizes. Qualitative research is much less reliable but still considered a good source of data for uncovering concepts, definitions, language, etc. with smaller sample sizes. Amorphitative research has extremely small sample sizes with completely contradictory data. Data from amorphitative research is completely worthless.
At first, the research was described as qualitative because of the small sample size, but after reviewing the results and realizing that all the interviews were completely contradictory the study was dubbed amorphitative research.

Get the Tertiary Research mug.The study of research itself—its methods, reporting, biases, incentives, and cultural practices. Also called "research on research," it’s the science of how science gets done (and often goes wrong). Meta-research audits disciplines for problems like publication bias, p-hacking, low statistical power, and irreproducibility. It doesn't discover new facts about the universe; it diagnoses the health of the processes we use to make those discoveries, acting as the immune system for academia.
*Example: A Meta-Research project analyzes 1,000 published psychology studies and finds that 90% of them used sample sizes too small to reliably detect the effects they were looking for. This doesn't debunk any specific psychological theory, but it casts doubt on the entire evidentiary foundation of the field, prompting a credibility crisis and reform.*
