This second edition has been fully revised by a collaborating team with a wealth of knowledge and practical experience in research project work. Including activity boxes to highlight key concepts and short summary boxes to indicate fundamental elements of various research areas, the chapters cover:

The importance of research and framing your research question and research ethics
Practical elements associated with planning and executing your research activity
The application of survey-based research methods and the value provided by social media as data collection devices
Deploying both quantitative and qualitative tools and techniques to analyse research data
Writing up your research work and preparing it for wider access and consumption
Examining the effect of your research work through assessing or measuring its impact
