It covers quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research. There are shorter entries for relatively straightforward terms and longer entries for terms that are more complex or carry more than one meaning. The book includes basic terms – such as data, empirical, fact, meaning, theory, and truth – as well as those that highlight major contemporary trends in the field, such as arts-based research, indigenous methodologies, and decolonisation. It is therefore relevant to many methodological issues and controversies taught in social science degree programmes today.

Providing clear definitions for a wide range of methodological concepts from across the social sciences, this is an essential resource for all who have an interest in social research methodology.  aSocial Science9805  aResearch Methodology9806  aDictionaries9807  2ddccREF  c751035d751035  00102ddc40708NFICaPHLbPHLcPROCd2025-08-21eModern Book Centre: MBC/0646/2024 Dtd 25/02/2025g3846.10l0o300.72 HAM/DpPHL4770r2025-08-21 12:22:36w2025-08-21yREF
