Evaluation 
Based on the research, it complies with the following aspects of the checklist. The 
research question serves as a logical extension of the purpose of the study that is the creation of 
awareness regarding cyber-terrorism. Also, it reflects the best question, since an analysis of the 
technological levels in Saudi Arabia equips it to handle the cyber threat (Alqahtani, 2014).  
Moreover, the research seeks to compares its technological status with other countries, thus 
comparison study is the most appropriate mechanism. The research questions follow the 
methodology appropriate in the data collection since if inquires about abstract data. Furthermore, 
it relates the central question to the qualitative approach because the variables of interests 
identified from the title of the study (Alqahtani, 2014).  However, it fails to observe the 
utilization of non-directional language and does not specify the participants.  
Research design 
The research uses Grounded Theory Method (GTM) as the qualitative approach to fulfill 
the expectations of the study. The method utilizes a combination of systematic and inductive 
techniques and comparison study to formulate a theory based on the empirical evidence collected 
from the research process (Alqahtani, 2014). The researcher implements the approach through 
the selection of the appropriate participants and analysis of the results. Moreover, the alternating 
collection and analysis of data promotes the development of a theory based on the research 
design. Additionally, it uses purposive sampling in the selection of the participants (Alqahtani, 
2014). The method ensures that the respondents provide data that will facilitate the answering of 
the research questions.
