- Research examples. Each chapter concludes with one or two actual research examples designed to highlight methodologic features described in the chapter and to sharpen the reader’s critical thinking skills. In addition, many research examples are used throughout the book to illustrate key points and to stimulate ideas for a study. Many examples used in this edition are published as open-access articles that can be used for further learning and classroom discussion.
- Specific practical tips on doing research. The textbook is filled with practical suggestions on how to translate the abstract notions of research methods into realistic strategies for conducting research. Every chapter includes several tips for applying the chapter’s lessons to real-life situations. These tips are an acknowledgment that there is often a gap between what gets taught in research methods textbooks and what a researcher needs to know to conduct a study.
- Critical appraisal guidelines. Almost all chapters include guidelines for conducting a critical appraisal of various aspects of a research report.
