The Research Companion

A Practical Guide for the Social and Health Sciences

by Petra M. Boynton

I hope you enjoy reading this book, and find it useful. Research is an ever-changing and on-going entity, and I have found myself learning more about it as I've gone along. Since there is so much to discuss about research, you may want to share your questions and solutions with others after reading this book. You can do so in the different forums within this website.

"Currently a hidden gem, psychologist and research expert Petra Boynton runs a message board for discussing research, asking questions and swapping tips. As well as covering the usual topics of study design and data analysis, it also covers issues such as ethics, researcher safety and participant wellbeing. Its focus is on postgraduate research, but undergraduate students might also find it useful."
