This no fuss, compact guide steers social science students of all
levels through the complex process of conducting a research project.
It explains how to break down initial ideas and broad topics into
manageable questions and gives detailed guidance on how to refine
these as the project progresses. With a wide range of international
examples and reflective exercises, it is packed with handy tips and
examples that show how to avoid common mistakes and pitfalls, and
ensure that hypotheses and questions are linked with research design,
methods and answers at every step. Taking readers from the start
through to the final stage of answering their questions and drawing
conclusions, this is an indispensable resource for research methods
courses. In addition, it is highly recommended for all students
undertaking an independent research project or thesis at
undergraduate, postgraduate or PhD level and beyond. New to this
