Introduction
Health research papers are prepared under a systematic framework to guarantee their credibility, reliability of findings, and reproducibility. Researchers are expected to follow the same framework when investigating health topics to facilitate discourse development. For that reason, they should include a methodological chapter to provide details of how the study was conducted. It defines the specific procedures, techniques, tools, and methods used in collecting data and processing the findings. The research methodology allows other peers in the field to assess the validity and reliability of the finding. Thus, the paper compares the methodological approaches used in two published research on a contemporary public health issue. The comparisons highlight the methodological differences and identify commonalities in philosophical perspectives. Besides, the analysis will explain the data collection approaches, methods of analysis, and ethical dimensions of the published research papers. The methodological comparison of the two papers provides critical information that helps determine the validity and reliability of the research findings. Public Health Topic Therefore, the public health issue selected focuses on evaluating public perspectives on COVID-19 vaccination in South Asia. The pandemic produced significant changes to personal life and the societal order, promoting the government to develop solutions and bring back normalcy. The government responded by funding or supporting successful projects to introduce COVID 19 vaccine. COVID 19 vaccine has drawn significant criticism and negativity within South Asia and worldwide. The front line health workers were initially targeted with a high level
Public perspectives on COVID-19 vaccination in South Asia 3 of acceptance at the inception but hesitant after some duration (Kumari et al., 2021)) However, the success of immunization is influenced by several factors, including the acceptance and level of coverage. There have been some concerns about the vaccine, including potential adverse side effects and the technology used to develop the drug. For that reason, understanding the factor that promotes public hesitation and other perspectives about immunization is necessary. For that reason, the two published research papers highlight the factors influencing hesitancy to COVID 19 uptake. Background Information The first article focuses on evaluating the perception of Indians about COVID 19 by Kumari, Ranjan, Chopra, Kaur, Kaur, Kalanidhi, et al. (2021). Kumari et al. (2021) provide a detailed analysis of the attitude, knowledge, and preconceptions that underpin the existing perception about the COVID 19 vaccine. The paper observes that the Indian public recorded mixed perceptions, attitudes, and knowledge concerning the immunization programs. For that reason, the researcher recommended that the public health agencies provide accurate information through correct messaging because it can improve the willingness to participate
