What is the Research Methods Knowledge Base?<\/h2>\n

The Research Methods Knowledge Base is a comprehensive web-based textbook that addresses all of the topics in a typical introductory undergraduate or graduate course in social research methods.\u00a0 It covers the entire research process including: formulating research questions; sampling (probability and nonprobability); measurement (surveys, scaling, qualitative, unobtrusive); research design (experimental and quasi-experimental); data analysis; and, writing the research paper.\u00a0 It also addresses the major theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of research including: the idea of validity in research; reliability of measures; and ethics.\u00a0 The Knowledge Base was designed to be different from the many typical commercially-available research methods texts.\u00a0 It uses an informal, conversational style to engage both the newcomer and the more experienced student of research.\u00a0 It is a fully hyperlinked text that can be integrated easily into an existing course structure or used as a sourcebook for the experienced researcher who simply wants to browse.<\/p>\n
