This book is a comprehensive and practical guide to understanding and embarking upon social science research. Adopting an accessible and logical approach, the book encourages students to understand, think about, and engage with every aspect of doing research. It is based on the premise that just being able to make sense of, or even being a scholar of methods, is not enough to do research. The author stresses that all good research is a thinking game and that research needs to be accompanied by a constant assessment of one’s work with a view to making the best possible decisions for obtaining credible data and trustworthy results. To that end she invites readers to think for themselves about the research methods that are best suited to their project.
