From the Paper:

"In a rapidly evolving field of study, the first step for the design of a research application is to be current on the existing research and methods used in obtaining the particular data. Instructors and researchers much stay current on the field in order to apply what has been learned. This elementary advice is a key component to accurate research in any field. But in a rapidly evolving environment, an instructor who relies on the same methods for even a short amount of time can discover they he of she is relying on outdated methodology."
