Product description

Review

This edition contains essential information for beginning researchers and it is presented in a clear and coherent way which engages the reader. The reader is carefully supported through references to research, questions posed and very well thought through examples. This is a publication which is a pleasure to read cover to cover, although it can be dipped into as necessary. Careful and appropriate support is provided to enable a beginning researcher to start research with an appropriate level of confidence. -- Dr Liane Purnell

This is a very good book for people who are unfamiliar with the research process. It steps the student through the rationale of doing research in the social sciences and the step by step approach to building up the research capability that masters or early doctoral students will need. It does not cover some areas of the foundations of research, for example the philosophy behind conducting this type of research and, therefore this would have to be supplemented by other texts. However, I have added this to our reading list and would recommend it particularly to those who have been out of academia for a while and have not conducted empirical research in the past. -- Dr. Claire Collins ― Inspection Copy Feedback

Excellent book, explains research methodology really well, clear and easy to follow. I will be using this book on a number of programmes to develop students understanding of research methodology. -- Mark Barnett

the book is more than what its title says if not for the suffix "step-by-step guide for beginners". it is clearly written and engaging. it is indeed a stepping stone for beginners, though my lecturer says it equally useful for him.

If you haven't done research before, this is a great textbook to have as reference! I just recently finished my research methodology class, and the book was required, and used it as towards my final presentation and paper, helped out in so many ways! Also if your thinking of graduated school, this is a great textbook to have in class, if you need to refresh on your research skills!

ITA: sono un dottorando di ricerca al primo anno e questo libro mi ha appena salvato la vita! Il testo è organizzato benissimo e spiega gli argomenti con una chiarezza disarmante. Il livello di inglese in cui è scritto è alla portata di chiunque abbia frequentato qualche anno di università e sia circa ad un livello B1 di conoscenza della lingua. Assolutamente consigliato per coloro che intendono intraprendere la strada della ricerca!

ENG: I'm a junior Ph.D student and I have to say: this book saved my life! It's very well organized and clear. Absolutely recommended for all of those who wants to do research in particular on the topics of the social sciences (for example, economics).
