For the social sciences, the approach and processes in research are
quite different. The type of evidence that social scientists can
collect is often very dependent on the method that has been used to
gather the data. The type of findings that can be discussed are
often not straightforward at all, and no easy comparison can be
made with the natural sciences, although this is not impossible.
The methodology in the social sciences has the same role as
technology and lab techniques in the natural sciences as these need
to be developed rapidly to account for the increasing complexity of
the natural objects to be studied. The methodologies in the social
sciences need to go through an intense period of critique,
reflection, and reformulation to consider the complexity of social
issues under investigation. Therefore, the area of social sciences
research and methodologies should continually be studied to advance
the field. Approaches and Processes of Social Science Research
presents new research methodologies in the social science field and
aims at providing a broad introduction to the methodology of social
research in its main theoretical foundations as well as in its
practical applications. Readers will develop a critical thinking
attitude about social problems which in turn will sharpen their
analytic approach to research. This book includes four main parts:
philosophical perspectives, strategies for conducting research,
common approaches for handling and collecting data, and critical
aspects of research writing throughout the process. While
highlighting topics such as critical theory in research, ethical
issues, research processes, data analysis, and more, this book is
ideal for researchers in the social sciences and practitioners,
stakeholders, academicians, and students interested in deepening
their understanding of the ideas and the practices of social
science research.
