Cambridge University Press Biostatistics with R
Book SynopsisBiostatistics with R provides a straightforward introduction on how to analyse data from the wide field of biological research, including nature protection and global change monitoring. The book is centred around traditional statistical approaches, focusing on those prevailing in research publications. The authors cover t-tests, ANOVA and regression models, but also the advanced methods of generalised linear models and classification and regression trees. Chapters usually start with several useful case examples, describing the structure of typical datasets and proposing research-related questions. All chapters are supplemented by example datasets, step-by-step R code demonstrating analytical procedures and interpretation of results. The authors also provide examples of how to appropriately describe statistical procedures and results of analyses in research papers. This accessible textbook will serve a broad audience, from students, researchers or professionals looking to improve their Trade Review'We will never have a textbook of statistics for biologists that satisfies everybody. However, this book may come closest. It is based on many years of field research and the teaching of statistical methods by both authors. All useful classic and advanced statistical concepts and methods are explained and illustrated with data examples and R programming procedures. Besides traditional topics that are covered in the premier textbooks of biometry/biostatistics (e.g. R. R. Sokal & F. J. Rohlf, J. H. Zar), two extensive chapters on multivariate methods in classification and ordination add to the strength of this book. The text was originally published in Czech in 2016. The English edition has been substantially updated and two new chapters 'Survival Analysis' and 'Classification and Regression Trees' have been added. The book will be essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students, professional researchers, and informed managers of natural resources.'

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Mixed Methods Research
Book SynopsisIn this book, Mertens provides a brief history of the emergence of mixed methods research and numerous examples to illustrate its application in different disciplines and geographic areas. Mixed methods approaches offer researchers an exciting opportunity to explore new combinations of methods in diverse contexts: the design possibilities are endless and can be incorporated in many different approaches. The book presents case studies to illustrate different philosophical lenses for mixed methods design, including post-positivism, constructivism, pragmatism, transformative, Indigenous, and dialectical pluralism. The book features interviews with researchers about their experiences and practices. They discuss a variety of topics including innovative research design, use of technology and big data, preparation of mixed methods researchers, and how this research can contribute to a more just and equitable future.Trade ReviewThis book introduces multiple lenses to examine a social phenomenon using mixed methods with case study examples. Reflecting issues and ethical values of the 21st century, the book emphasizes cultural sensitivity and inclusiveness in the research process. The author's clear writing makes it easy for non-native English readers to understand. * Hisako Kakai, Professor of International Communication, Aoyama Gakuin University, Japan *By taking the intriguing route of introducing readers to options in research design through the lens of paradigmatic assumptions, Mertens renders accessible this often-daunting component of mixed methods research. Numerous case studies with a social justice orientation, where the focus is on the place and construction of stakeholder–community–interdisciplinary relationships, illustrate these options. * Pat Bazeley, Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University, Australia *Table of ContentsSeries Foreword 1.

SAGE Publications Inc Research Design: Why Thinking About Design
Book SynopsisDesigning research is about making decisions to transform an idea into a plan that can provide answers to a research problem or question. Thinking about, and then making these decisions results in the research design – the plan that will be followed to conduct the research and answer the question. This text engages in a dialogue with the reader, providing a serious but accessible introduction to research design, for use as a guide when designing your own research or when reading the research of others. Julianne Cheek and Elise Øby show that designing research is an iterative and reflexive process in which there is constant thinking through, and re-visiting of, decisions about that design as it develops. They use a variety of pedagogical devices throughout the book including Tip; Activity; and Putting it into Practice boxes to emphasize specific points and encourage readers to think about the practical implications of what they have learned.Trade ReviewThis is one of the clearest and most accessible research methods books I have read as a scholar. I highly recommend for both students and teachers alike. It is an excellent survey of both qualitative and quantitative research methods. -- Natalie Danielle BakerStudents writing a thesis or dissertation will benefit from this text′s approach to the development of and design of research. It provides a strong theoretical understanding of the process of moving from an idea to a research proposal to the final research project. A good addition to the library of someone who is doing research. -- Hugh ClarkThis book provides a detailed outline of research methods. The authors break the concepts and content into a manner in which it is easily understood by the reader. They also provide activities for the reader to use to apply the content. -- Jaimee L. HartensteinThe authors describe the complexities of research and clearly describe the many details that go into a well-designed and executed study. They have done an amazing job describing the process of research design. Any student learning about research will benefit from this book. -- Lauren HaysThis is an excellent text for those instructors who recognize the importance of giving research design more comprehensive treatment than is typical of most textbooks. -- Scott LiebertzI will add this book as required reading for my course and personally add this to my collection of research material to aid in my writing and evaluation projects. -- Sherill Morris-FrancisThis text is a very approachable conversation-based introduction to research design for social science students. It provides an inviting approach to the research process that draws the reader in as a participant instead of a spectator.
