Research Design and Methods: A Process Approach

About this book

Research Design and Methods: A Process Approach guides students through the research process from conceiving of and developing a research idea to designing and conducting a study to analyzing and reporting data. The authors present students with information on the numerous decisions they must make when designing and conducting research and indicate how their early decisions affect how data are collected analyzed and interpreted later in the research process. A focus on the importance of ethical conduct both in the treatment of research subjects and in the reporting of research results directs the text.
