The use of research paradigm and theory provide specific direction for procedures in research design. This paper discussed the importance of understanding the use of research paradigm and theory in relation to the concepts of ontology, epistemology and methodology in both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The paper further discussed the connection of research paradigm and theory in library and information science (LIS) research, in both quantitative and qualitative researches. The author presents steps using deductive and inductive approaches and provides a guide in which LIS researchers need to consider before designing a research proposal.

Therefore it can also induce the obesity at a very early stage in the life of children, and its presence in children saliva should be checked. We proposed eight microsensors: four stochastic microsensors, one amperometric microsensor and three multimode microsensors for the screening of children saliva for bisphenol A in a concentration range from 10 À15 to 10 À4 mol/L. Qualitative assessment of bisphenol A in saliva samples was done using stochastic sensing, while its quantitative assessment was done using differential pulse voltammetry and stochastic sensing. The results correlated well, and also compared with those obtained using the standard method, although the standard method did not cover all the time the ranges on which bisphenol A is present in children saliva, and therefore the standard method cannot be reliable used for it analysis in children saliva.
