Arguing that the elements of experiment design and reporting are inextricably linked, Harris (psychology, U. of Sheffield, UK) presents an introductory textbook on experimental design and reporting in psychology. First he presents information on writing reports, with separate chapters for each of a report's principle sections. The chapters on design discuss basic issues, significance testing in statistics, and effect size and power in statistics. The book is distributed in the US by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c.

#research #curriculum Helsinki library discard that I saved for years and when I finally got to it, was very impressed by. It has been superseded by a more complicated edition that I think I'm going to ask our library to get so I can use it in Academic Writing. Although a lot of the design and statistics stuff is specific to psychology, the first chapter on overall structure of reports is usable for linguistics as well, and the thing is so accessibly written that students may read more, absorbing the principles of good research.
