 * It is not clear what the term "Experimental Research Design" means, and how it is different from Experimental Design. In particular, is there any reason why this page should not be merged with []?  In addition, the content is heavily biased toward the social sciences, whereas the topic is applicable to the "hard" sciences also.


 * The major difficulty is that Design of experiments is so poorly structured that it makes any merging very difficult. I would suggest first getting a much better/logical structure in Design of experiments before attempting a merge. It is unfortunate that the distinctive parts of Experimental research design, in relation to marketing, are not provided with immediate sources. I have added merge templates to promote discussion. It may be worth noting that most articles linking here do so through a redirect of Experimental techniques and so a different possibility is to just rename the article to that and to change the emphasis accordingly!
