E-Research : Methods, Strategies, and Issues

E-Research takes the learner through the complete research process from problem formulation, through literature review, ethics approval, quantitative and qualitative data gathering and analysis, to dissemination and publication. Written in clear, non-technical language with educational research examples, this book illustrates how each of these components of the research process changes in a Net-enabled context. Every professional is obliged to understand and, in most cases, master the use of tools of their trade-even when those tools are undergoing rapid evolution. E-Research is not a research methods text. Rather, it begins where standard methodology books end, by focusing on when and how to use the Internet to enhance the research process. For anyone involved in business or those who utilize the Internet as a research tool.
