Synopsis

THE ABC OF RESEARCH METHODS: Notes For Graduate Students, a new publication on the basics of research methods, sets the benchmark for all the researchers who are keen to learn and understand the in-depth processes involved in academic, policy and professional research. The book sheds more light on the concept and process of research methods, it aims to help graduate students to sharpen their skills, and it also serves the interests of scholars at different levels.

This book will go a long way in helping to demystify the notion that research is a difficult discipline since it is written in a simple and easy to understand language; taking into account the latest ideas -- and ethics in research -- for the 21st Century scholar. In addition to the carefully written 11-chapter work, there are quizzes at the end of every chapter which are meant to act as a barometer for self-test so that graduate students practice what they learn. This is, but, a timely publication for graduate students.

PROF. IBRAHIM FARAH, founder of the Mogadishu-based Justice & Peace Network (aka Maandeeq-JPN) and head of its research arm, is a seasoned lecturer who taught at various Universities including the famous University of Nairobi- Kenya and SIMAD University- Somalia. He is an analyst on African issues and an author of international repute.

DR. HASHIM SHURIA and MR HIMISH MAHMOUD, from the Nairobi-based ResearchCare Africa, are professional researchers with years of experience in the field of research, peace-building and public policy issues.
