RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION: A very easy introduction for students, researchers and teachers of research methodology

This book is based upon my experiences in research as a student, practitioner, and teacher. The difficulties I faced in understanding research as a student, my discoveries about what was applicable and inapplicable in the field as a practitioner, and my development of the ability effectively to communicate difficult concepts in simple language without sacrificing technicality and accuracy as a teacher has become the basis of this book.The research methodology is taught as a supporting subject in several ways in many academic disciplines such as health, education, psychology, social work, nursing, public health, library studies, and marketing research. The core philosophical base for this book comes from my conviction that, although these disciplines vary in content, their broad approach to a research inquiry is similar. This book, therefore, is addressed to these academic disciplines.
