This immensely practical book is designed for anyone new to research and planning to undertake a research project.
The textbook is organized around eight operational steps that constitute the research process: formulating a research
problem; conceptualizing a research design; constructing an instrument for data collection; selecting a sample;
writing a research proposal; collecting data; processing data; and writing a research report.
Ranjit Kumar has drawn on 20 years of teaching experience to demystify the research process and give students a
helpful and informative guide.
