Research Methods and Statistics: An Integrated Account for the Social Sciences

To conduct empirical research, one needs to have conceptual, theoretical, methodological and statistical skills that are meshed together properly. A confluence of these skills is no less important for assessing research reports. Using separate Research Methods or Statistics textbooks written by authors who may have different perspectives on various issues, students may find it difficult to integrate methodological and statistical skills. Both students and instructors would find it helpful to have a textbook that presents statistics and research methods in an integrated manner. This book is written for them.
