This new edition of Nick Moore’s highly successful How to do Research offers an accessible guide to

the complete research process. It focuses on the day-to-day requirements of project managing a piece

of research right through from the formulation of the initial idea, to the development of a research

proposal and then to the writing up and disseminating of results. Completely updated throughout, it

also contains new and expanded sections on in-house research; the use of sub-contractors and market

research companies; the use of the internet as a research tool; computer analysis of data; and ethical

issues.

The book provides practical help and guidance to anyone undertaking academic or social research,

whether through work or study. Part One of the book follows a step-by-step guide to the research

process itself.

Part Two offers an introduction to some of the more common research methods, and takes the reader

through the processes of collecting and analysing data, including sampling, surveys, interviewing, focus

groups and capturing data.

This book offers a wealth of invaluable guidance to both new and experienced researchers, presented

in a clear, simple style. It is ideal for professionals undertaking research and the evaluation of services;

for undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking dissertations and other research projects; and

as an introductory text on research methods courses in any social science discipline.
