Synopsis

Amongst the bewildering array of approaches and beliefs about how social research should be conducted, Ground Rules for Good Research guides the researcher to the 10 core issues. In straightforward terms, it shows why they are so fundamental and it provides clear guidance on how they should be addressed by the researcher. The Ground Rules apply across the range of different types of social research, covering both quantitative and qualitative approaches.

It is written for undergraduate, postgraduate and professional students in business studies, social sciences, health studies, media studies and education who need to undertake research projects as part of their studies.
