- The literature review, experimental method, discussion, and the skeleton of the results should be written up before running a single participant because the statistical analysis should be known in advance. 
- If the experiment is not convincing, then no time has been wasted in gathering useless data

Experimental Method Writing Process

An experimental write-up is an important pillar in the development of experiments because it enables the reader to follow the chain of evidence, validity, and analysis.

Experiments have always played an important role in Human-Computer Interaction. 

Three Pillars of Good Experiments:

Experimental designs are written up in papers as objective descriptions of a state of affairs and the complex processes that led to that particular experiment are glossed over. In particular, the fact that an experimental design may have been iterated on paper, tested in a pilot or even failed entirely and iterated further may only merit the briefest of mentions, if any.


Experimental design

It is essential for an experiment to succeed. 
Statistics are needed to help identify differences outcome between testing conditions are systematic and meaningfully related to the independent variable.
