Designed with students, for students and now shortlisted for the
British Book Design and Production Awards 2019!
Eight steps, two pathways, one book. The Fifth Edition of the
bestseller Research Methodology has reimagined, redesigned, and fully
renovated how a textbook can help students achieve success in their
methods course or research project.
Eight steps: Foolproof for any beginner researcher, the book breaks
the process of designing and doing a research project into achievable
stages. It delivers students from research problem to their written
research report at the pace they need, with clear explanations, DIY
tasks and study skills support.
In a new landscape format it presents figures, models and
visualizations elegantly, so they don′t break over a page, making even
complex concepts easier to understand.
Two pathways: With an innovative, beautiful design, regular progress
checkpoints have been built into the book and its online resources. As
students proceed through the 8 steps, each chapter provides regular
opportunities for students to check understanding or give themselves a
challenge. Each pathway then gives them the resources they need.
- Confused? Stop, practise with quizzes and flashcards, or use a video
to look at a concept a different way.
- Up for a challenge? Access a wealth of additional material including
research articles, readings, case studies, activities, bibliography
tools and inspiration to pursue your curiosity, impress your lecturer,
and nail your assignments.
With this one book, every student gets what they need to succeed. It
is the perfect essential text for students and beginner researchers
across the social sciences.
