Doing Your Research Project PDF

This is the fourth edition of this very useful book on research projects by this author. I purchased a copy of the second edition some years ago, however found that it was a bit dated, especially in the computer age.

Having bought this fourth edition, I have found it to be extremely useful for the travelling researcher-the type of reference book one could carry around when on a field trip.

This fourth edition examines methodologies in research; planning a research project; ethics in research; reading and referencing and how to manage your information; literature searches and the review of literature; analysis of documents; planning and distributing questionnaires and planning and undertaking interviews; diaries, logs and observation studies. Interpreting evidence and reporting findings and finally, writing the report.

The author has revised the book with additional information added to the text to bring it up to date. The discussion of researching on the internet and computer skills highlight the need to be extra careful about the 'sin' of plagiarism; the author makes a number of references to plagiarism throughout her book and this reinforces the need for care by the researcher and writer.

In summary, a well written and researched book, which continues in the author's easy-to-read style. The book contains many useful ideas and suggestions and is the type of book I place into my bags when I travel and need a handy reference on this topic. Well done, Judith Bell!

It's a regular scientific methodology book. Though you will find some schematic figures / graphics, most of pages has only text. About important topics (e.g. "bias", evidence based medicine) you will find a very little amount of informations. Nothing about statistics.
