Описание: The bestseller that pioneered the comparison of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research design continues in its Fifth Edition to help students and researchers prepare their plan or proposal for a scholarly journal article, dissertation or thesis.
A practical guide to using modern software effectively in quantitative research in the social and natural sciences.
This book offers a practical guide to the computational methods at the heart of most modern quantitative research. It will be essential reading for research assistants needing hands-on experience; students entering PhD programs in business, economics, and other social or natural sciences; and those seeking quantitative jobs in industry. No background in computer science is assumed; a learner need only have a computer with access to the Internet. Using the example as its principal pedagogical device, the book offers tried-and-true prototypes that illustrate many important computational tasks required in quantitative research. The best way to use the book is to read it at the computer keyboard and learn by doing.
The book begins by introducing basic skills: how to use the operating system, how to organize data, and how to complete simple programming tasks. For its demonstrations, the book uses a UNIX-based operating system and a set of free software tools: the scripting language Python for programming tasks; the database management system SQLite; and the freely available R for statistical computing and graphics. The book goes on to describe particular tasks: analyzing data, implementing commonly used numerical and simulation methods, and creating extensions to Python to reduce cycle time. Finally, the book describes the use of LaTeX, a document markup language and preparation system.

Описание: The book makes a valuable addition to the field...providing a very useful resource for those evaluating, engaging in, or embarking on, research′ - Monika Buscher, Department of Sociology, Lancaster University
This book provides a discussion of qualitative research methods from an ethnomethodological perspective. Detailed yet concise, Paul ten Have′s text explores the complex relation between the more traditional methods of qualitative social research and the discipline of ethnomethodology. It draws on examples from both ethnomethodological studies and the wider field of qualitative research to discuss critically an array of methods for qualitative data collection and analysis.
Key features of the book include:
- A broad coverage - includes discussions of interviewing, the use of documents, ethnography, and methods of data analysis
- An understanding of different research traditions and illustrations of how these may be used in practice
- Concise chapter summaries and further reading sections to aid student learning
With a student-friendly structure, this engaging book will be an invaluable resource for both students and researchers across the social sciences.
