types of researchers. At its heart it might be described as a
formalized approach toward problem solving, thinking, and acquiring
knowledge the success of which depends upon clearly defined
objectives and appropriate choice of statistical tools, tests, and
analysis to meet a project s objectives.
Comprising more than 500 entries, the Encyclopedia of Research
Design explains how to make decisions about research design,
undertake research projects in an ethical manner, interpret and
draw valid inferences from data, and evaluate experiment design
strategies and results. Two additional features carry this
encyclopedia far above other works in the field: bibliographic
entries devoted to significant articles in the history of research
design and reviews of contemporary tools, such as software and
statistical procedures, used to analyze results.
