Detailed explanation-1: -In other words, limitations are what the researcher cannot do (elements outside of their control) and delimitations are what the researcher will not do (elements outside of the boundaries they have set).
Detailed explanation-2: -Conclusion: Limitations vs Delimitations Limitations reflect the shortcomings of your study, based on practical or theoretical constraints that you faced. Contrasted to that, delimitations reflect the choices that you made in terms of the focus and scope of your research aims and research questions.
