The Reviewer’s Guide to Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences

by Gregory R. Hancock (Editor), Ralph O. Mueller (Editor)

Now in its second edition, The Reviewer's Guide to Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences provides evaluators of research manuscripts and proposals in the social and behavioral sciences with the resources they need to read, understand, and assess quantitative work. Its thirty-one uniquely structured chapters cover both traditional and emerging methods of quantitative data analysis, which neither junior nor veteran reviewers can be expected to know in detail. The book updates readers on each technique's key principles, appropriate usage, underlying assumptions, and limitations. It thereby assists reviewers to offer constructive commentary on works they evaluate, and also serves as an indispensable author's reference for preparing sound research manuscripts and proposals.

definitely a good one to keep in your library. I reference it from time to time to think about the quality of my analysis and manuscript. I would say to meet every single criterion is a tall order but good to set a high standard to ensure you don't go down a slippery slope of poor quality research.
