This book is an in-depth guide to effective scientific research. Ranging from the philosophical to the practical, it explains at the outset what science can – and can’t – achieve, and discusses its relationship to mathematics and laws. The author then pays extensive attention to the scientific method, including experimental design, verification, uncertainty and statistics. A major aim of the book is to help young scientists reflect upon the deeper aims of their work and make the best use of their talents in contributing to progress. To this end, it also includes sections on planning research, on presenting one’s findings in writing, as well as on ethics and the responsibilities of scientists.  

Arvustused

The target audience for Research Methodology is clearly young researchers in the natural sciences, although even seasoned investigators would benefit from the insights . a book that covers a great many fundamental topics in research and is also enjoyable reading. For this, Professor Pruzan is to be congratulated. I think Research Methodology should be required reading for every student embarking on a research-oriented career. (David B. Glick, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 124 (5), 2017) The book is just plainly interesting from both a philosophical point of view and in its considerable practical material, a breadth of material not found elsewhere. Research Methodology is a remarkable book which I highly recommend to both PhD students and working scientists. It is clear, well written, and thought provoking. (Martin A. Uman, Journal of Research Practice, Vol. 13 (1), August, 2017)
