Conducting Research prepares students to conduct their first empirical research study, with quantitative and qualitative methods covered in detail. The emphasis is on providing practical, easy-to-follow advice on how to conduct a first research project.

This book walks students through each step of the research process, from selecting a research topic and participants to analysing data and presenting research findings. Notably, the third edition places a heightened emphasis on digital social science research methods, encompassing both quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches. The primary focus is on providing practical and easily comprehensible guidance for successfully executing an empirical project for a research methods and design course. The updated real research examples serve to exemplify the application of research principles in an empirical social science research context, further enhancing the students' preparedness for their research project. Furthermore, the inclusion of enhanced online resources for both students and instructors renders this an ideal text for social sciences courses in multiple disciplines such as sociology, psychology, education and healthcare.
