This book is designed to introduce doctoral and graduate students to the process of conducting scientific research in the social sciences, business, education, public health, and related disciplines. It is a one-stop, comprehensive, and compact source for foundational concepts in behavioral research, and can serve as a stand-alone text or as a supplement to research readings in any doctoral seminar or research methods class. This book is currently used as a research text at universities on six continents and will shortly be available in nine different languages. Review: Great book! - Easy to read and digest this heavy information! Review: 99 for a print copy of this work is a fantastic value. Dr - I want to address a few concerns I see in earlier reviews. Rating a book as one star because it is not the text you needed instead of rating it on the quality of its content seems a little weak. Also, yes, there are grammatical errors. I am unsure if the author is a native English speaker, or if he is bi/multilingual. Considering this text is available for free digitally through a digital commons, it bypasses the big publishers and their big price tags which means there will be editing errors. With that being said, $9.99 for a print copy of this work is a fantastic value. Dr. B (as we refer to him in a graduate research methods course) has provided an extremely digestable work explaining the principles behind social science research. This is approachable regardless of discipline and course level (high school, undergradu, grad, and even post-grad). It provides you an introduction to philosophy as well as components of research. You'll find yourself returning to the basics, and it gives strong foundations.

Professional guide to research methods for grad students of all levels
The best book for people starting any kind of research!!! Really helpful for Masters students with thesis who have no research background!!! Even if you do have research background, it’s a must read for any kind of MS or PHD student!!!

Adequate but needed an editor
This book was required as a textbook for a class I'm taking, and while the information is adequate, I found the grammatical errors (especially in the first few chapters) distracting. The book could have used a good editing before it was published.
