About this deal

Tom Clark, Lecturer in Research Methods, The University of Sheffield, Liam Foster, Senior Lecturer in Social Policy & Social Work, The University of Sheffield, Luke Sloan, Reader at the School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University, and Alan Bryman, Former Professor of Organizational and Social Research, The University of Leicester

Two new chapters on quantitative data analysis cover descriptive and inferential statistics, offering students greater support in understanding and applying these techniques. A more straightforward writing style makes the content easier for all students to follow, particularly those for whom English is not a first language. Vocabulary is simpler, jargon and idiomatic phrases have been removed, and complex discussions have been broken into manageable parts. Extended coverage of inclusivity and bias in research, feminist perspectives, and decolonial and indigenous research, reflects the significance of these issues to researchers today.
