| 520 | 8 | |a With step-by-step instructions covering the entire research process, and with an emphasis on meaningful analysis to encourage good judgement, this book provides that ideal stepping stone between learning about research and actually doing it. |b Designed to help students make the leap from learning about research to doing research, this manual provides an easy-to-understand walkthrough of the entire research process, from selecting a topic and conducting a literature review through presenting an APA-style paper or presentation. All of the 15 cross-disciplinary labs included are appropriate for use in the social, behavioural, and health sciences, and follow a consistent format: objective, description of a journal article, canned data, examples of what output should look like, pointers on interpreting the output, and a suggested activity for those who wish to collect their own data. | |
