Designing Social Research is a uniquely comprehensive and
student-friendly guide to the core knowledge and types of skills
required for planning social research. The authors organize the
book around four major steps in social research - focusing,
framing, selecting and distilling - placing particular emphasis on
the formulation of research questions and the choice of appropriate
'logics of inquiry' to answer them. The requirements for research
designs and proposals are laid out at the beginning of the book,
followed by a discussion of key design issues and research ethics.
Four sample research designs on environmental issues illustrate the
role of research questions and the application of the four logics
of inquiry, and this third edition includes new material dedicated
to social research in a digital, networked age. Fully revised and
updated, Designing Social Research continues to be an invaluable
resource to demystify the research process for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students. Together with the authors'
Social Research: Paradigms in Action and Blaikie's Approaches to
Social Enquiry, it offers social scientists an informative guide to
designing social research.
