Hello everyone. I have a quick research methodology question.

In an experimental study where **treatment is given continuously every week** and **observations are taken weekly**, the design notation looks like this:

EG: **X → O₁ → O₂ → O₃ → O₄**
CG: **O₁ → O₂ → O₃ → O₄**

Where
**X** = Treatment (continuing each week)
**O₁, O₂, O₃, O₄** = Weekly observations

What is the **correct name of this research design**? Also please provide any reference or source where what I can find such design.

Thanks 
Looking forward to hearing from you


Best Regards,
