About this book

In the new edition of Introduction to Social Research, Keith Punch takes a fresh look at the entire research process, from formulating a research question to writing up your research. Covering qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods, the book focuses on matching research questions to appropriate methods.

A new chapter on literature searching and reviewing
Expanded coverage of ethics
A new section on using the internet in research
A range of additional student learning features
A brand new companion website including full-text journal articles, additional case studies and video tutorials.
