Research doesn't exist in a bubble but co-exists with a multitude of
other tasks and commitments, yet there is more need for people to save
time than ever before. Brilliantly attuned to the demands placed on
researchers, this book considers how students, academics and
professionals alike can save time and stress without compromising the
quality of their research or its outcomes. This third edition: - is
fully revised with new chapters on research and evaluation ethics,
creative methods of collecting data and how research can make a positive
difference; - includes illustrative case studies throughout the book,
and each chapter concludes with exercises, discussion questions and a
debate topic; - is accompanied by a fully updated companion website.
This supportive book is designed for any student or practitioner who
wants to know how to do research on top of their main job, and still
have a life.
