From the Back Cover
- Information about the use of the latest, Sixth Edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association is contained in the last chapter.
- Appendix A provides some tips and tricks for using Excel for data analysis.
- Excel is the tool of choice, rather than SPSS, for whatever data analysis discussions take place. Excel is available almost everywhere ― including colleges, universities and other institutions ― and many students already have it installed on their personal computers.
- The online sources for more exploration are increased by about 25%.
- UPDATED! Coverage of software for dealing with qualitative data and the development and refinement of bibliographies is new or improved.
- UPDATED! The material on the use of the Internet for research is updated with more information about conducting research and literature reviews online, and includes new information on how social media can be used in a research context. Information on previous topics such as email, that were once new to our research endeavors but are now “old hat”, has been significantly reduced to allow room for other material.
