Cost-Effectiveness: Reusing existing data eliminates the need for new data collection, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Longitudinal Studies: Researchers can use recycled data to conduct longitudinal studies, tracking changes over time. Hypothesis Testing: New hypotheses can be tested using existing data, allowing for quicker validation or refutation. Replication: Recycled data allows for the replication of studies to confirm findings, thereby enhancing the reliability of research.
