Research design and methods: a process approach

by Kenneth S. Bordens, Bruce B. Abbott

"Research Design and A Process Approach" guides students through the research process, from conceiving of and developing a research idea, to designing and conducting a study, to analyzing and reporting data. The authors present students with information on the numerous decisions they must make when designing and conducting research and indicate how their early decisions affect how data are collected, analyzed, and interpreted later in the research process. A focus on the importance of ethical conduct, both in the treatment of research subjects and in the reporting of research results, directs the text.

As far as research goes this is a good book. I am still trying to deside if I am going to adopt it howver, when teaching Research Methods and overseeing Capstone Projects I like to stick to the Publication Manual of the APA. We shall see. BTW I read the Wleventh Edition. I don't know what is up with not being able to get the ISBN numbers from McGraw Hill and Cengage current to register or allow me to put in. Maybe it is because I am using my phone IDK but it is really annoying me today.
