About the Book:

This book, aptly named Research Methodology (Volume II), presents a primer on the fundamentals of research methodology. It is intended as a textbook for graduate students and researchers in India, as well as for those who want to take the National Eligibility Test (NET) and get admission to doctoral programmes at one of the country’s many institutions. The importance of research to the development of higher education and, therefore, the necessity for the instruction of research methodology at all HEIS teaching levels, have been emphasised in various recommendations released from time to time by the UGC. Some of the most fundamental ideas of research are laid out clearly and simply in this book, including research problem and research design, topic selection, data collection methods and techniques, metric and scale selection, documentation styles, plagiarism, the benefits of using computers in research, and more. The book makes a concerted effort to avoid using any academic jargons, so that even the most advanced readers will have no trouble following along. In addition, the book meets the demands of graduate students and faculty members who are creating and publishing academic research.
