Introducing Research Methodology cover

Offering an encyclopedic introduction to research, this book shows you how to think about every stage of their project and equips you with the tools you need to understand different research processes.

Packed with examples showing the diversity of research, this third edition provides hands-on guidance to help:

  • Develop key academic skills like critical thinking, effective writing and building an argument
  • Confidently interpret findings, assess arguments and understand the wider impact of their research
  • Understand the challenges and opportunities involved in working with new types of data like social media and online data

Supported by a dynamic new website with downloadable templates, case studies, dos and don’ts videos and more, this practical book prepares you for not just getting to grips with methodological concepts, but being ready to apply them.

A significant effort has been made to present a detailed, contemporary overview of designing and conducting social research. The author goes beyond the usual content covered in this type of textbook, by elaborating on worldview methodological approaches to research. -- Shakiela K Davies
This continues to be a stand-out resource for students who are undertaking their first social research project, and this edition brings many welcome updates. Particularly welcome are the strengthening of the section on ethics, and the integration of online and digital research throughout the text. -- Cathy Lasher
