This book really helps me to know basic principles of research. Even, I didn't know, difference between research methods and methodologies. This book clear my doubts. Definitely, this is a good book to learn basics of Practical Research.

I suggest this book to all those who don't have any knowledge about Research, like me. This book will surely help you to understand fundamentals of research. Moreover this book is written in very simple and easy language which make different concepts of research digestible.

Very good introduction to Research Methods textbook. The language is clear and easy to understand. Dawson provides a wide range of examples to guide the readers. I have included it as an essential resource book for my Research Methods students. I wish I had this book when I started my journey in Research Methods.

It's not enough but it sure drives the big picture. It explains research methods; what are they, when to use them, how to use them, difference between them. You can read that short manual and Google missing information. Google+the book = 4 stars
