Study Design

Study design sorts studies by their basic method, such as a controlled experiment or an observational study. Wikipedia notes that experiments "typically include controls, which are designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the single independent variable," a design choice that separates a true experiment from a simple observation. Browsing by design lets a visitor compare studies that used a similar method.
