Doing Academic Research is an accessible guide to research focusing on the social sciences, humanities, and business. It approaches research as a process, steering readers through the beginnings of topic choice through choosing methods, samples, and then sharing their results.
The book guides readers through six methods in detail (interviews, focus groups, surveys, textual analysis, content analysis, and critical discourse analysis), providing enough information to successfully choose and conduct each method. It also covers observational methods like ethnography, experiments, and meta-synthesis, explaining when and why a researcher might choose those methods. It then shows readers how to analyze both qualitative and quantitative data, with tips and tricks to make the process more intuitive, and concludes with a discussion of how to effectively write, present, and publish research. The chapters also include additional material, ranging from discussions of ethics connected to specific methods, suggestions on how to work effectively with libraries, and ways to use artificial intelligence tools in the process. A selection of online resources are also available with websites, videos, selected bibliographies, and other guides to deepen understanding of the content.
This book is perfect for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professional academics and researchers looking to expand into additional methods or refine their understanding and approach to the ones they currently use.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
