I am looking for an appropriate way to say "there are a number of limitations to our analysis", which does not sound so demeaning to the work we have carried out.



I am new to this site so apologies if I haven't gone about this the correct way.

    Where will be this published and what exactly do you mean by demeaning? What do you try to avoid? "Limitation" is very commonly used when describing studies. "Within the limitation of this systematic review, there is insufficient evidence.." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27377109

  • Thanks @Jan. This isn't being published but is going to a client of ours. To be honest I am happy with the term limitations, it is more the "there are a number of", which to my ears sounds quite bad.

    Words like inevitably can convey that the limitations are due to the nature of the exercise and not the way you have gone about it.

    I don't think limitations has significant "belittling, derogatory" implications in your context (it's certainly less so than, say, deficiencies). But you might consider using caveats instead.

The sentence is fine as it stands. You could say There are limitations to our analysis leaving out the Number of description. It would mean much the same.



Telling the audience that you know of the limitations will be taken as you're being serious about the analysis, not demeaning. You would need to follow this by listing or enumerating the limitations.

            Tradisjonelle folkedrakter frå Aust-Telemark, truleg frå 1880-åra. Drakter som dette er grunnlaget for moderne bunadar. Foto: Axel Lindahl Bunad frå Eggedal i Buskerud fotografert i 1906. Bunad (frå kledebunad , der norrønt «búnaðr» har same rot som (føre)bu) er ei samnemning brukt om klesdrakter i tradisjonell nordisk stil — ofte utvikla frå folkedrakter, men likevel i ein eigen tradisjon. Ein bunad er typisk ei forseggjort og kostbar drakt, med mykje broderi, og med handsmidde smykke i gull eller sølv, særleg dei særeigne søljene, som obligatorisk prynad i tillegg. Bunad og bunadbruk er eit debattemne med mange ulike oppfatningar, til dømes om kva som er ein bunad, og om ein kan endra på utforminga av draktene eller ikkje. Den norske bunadrørsla går tilbake til folkedansrørsla og føregangsfolk som Hulda Garborg og Klara Semb. I dag blir bunad brukt som nasjonaldrakt. Festbunad er likestilt med galla-antrekk, og ofte nytta ved særskilde høve, som konfirmasjonar eller d

Grani í vetrarfeldi. Færeyski hesturinn (færeyska: Føroyska rossið ) er hestur sem hefur lifað í Færeyjum í hundruði ára. Hann er smágerður, 120-132 cm á hæð, og helst skyldur hjaltlandshestinum. Hlutverk hans var að draga vagna og plóg og bera klyfjar. Hann hefur fjórar gangtegundir eins og íslenski hesturinn (þar með talið tölt) og er með fjölda litaafbrigði. Nú til dags er hann notaður til frístunda. Í lok 19. aldar voru til um 800 hross. Mörg þeirra voru seld til Bretlands til að vinna í kolanámum og um 1960 voru aðeins nokkrir hestar eftir. Átak var gert í að varðveita hestinn og eru nú til 70-80 hross í Færeyjum. [1] Heimild |   Wikimedia Commons er með margmiðlunarefni sem te
