Analysing Data For Your PhD: An Introduction (PhD Knowledge, #3)
Description
Analysing data is perhaps the most demanding stage of research - and certainly the least visible. This concise e-book demystifies the process by explaining the principles and practice of good quality data analysis. It describes the key quantitative and qualitative methods, as well as creative and mixed methods, and offers guidance on how to choose suitable methods for your research. Now in a fully updated second edition, the book emphasises the need for robust and rigorous analysis, and aims to enable you to draw clear lines from your data, through your findings, to your conclusions.
