Research Design and Methods: A Process Approach / Edition 10

by Kenneth S. Bordens, Bruce Barrington Abbott

Overview

Research Design and Methods: A Process Approach takes students through the research process, from getting and developing a research idea, to designing and conducting a study, through analyzing and reporting data. Information on the research process is presented in a lively and engaging way, highlighting the numerous decisions that must be made when designing and conducting research. The importance of ethical conduct is emphasized, both in the treatment of research subjects and in the conduct of research and reporting research results.
