`[Research for Development] is well-written and, at every stage, is well-documented with practical examples. The simplicity with which it is written adds to its value in that non-professional persons get well-aquainted with the research process. Every chapter in the book ends with highlighting of the main points made in that chapter... A further strength of the book is the inclusion of an appendix with a list of websites that deal with issues in the area of development research... the simplicity of its organization and message should appeal to people/researchers across disciplines' - Pakistan Development Review `Research for Development achieves the near impossible: it provides vast quantities of useful guidance for almost anyone involved in research for development regardless of the size of your research project or your role within that project' - Arvac Bulletin `Written by professional researchers, this immensely practical book provides development workers with a more research-oriented point of view, so that they can avoid mistakes in the design of programmes. It will also help them to understand people's needs and respond accordingly' - The Asian Age `It is a beautiful and comprehensive compilation giving scores of instances that prove the essentiality if carrying out a survey of a particular locality for bringing about a change there' - Rafique Jalal, DAWN This book provides a comprehensive introduction and handbook for undertaking and managing research in development. It is designed to provide both a quick reference manual and an indispensable learning tool for all students, researchers and practitioners engaged in development work. The text is divided into two parts: Managing research for development, and Doing research for development. Together the two parts review the complete research process from outlining the essential role and purpose of research, highlighting specific issues to development research, to demonstrating how to evaluate and secure the best results from subsequent research projects. The book includes: an overview of different types of research in development work; practical steps to writing a brief and managing research; practical steps to evaluating and promoting research findings; step by step guides to getting started and choosing a research method; detailed guidelines to seven key research techniques; examples, exercises, summaries and checklists; and glossary and guides to additional resources and packages Drawing on considerable hands-on experience, Research for Development will be an essential companion and invaluable tool for anyone engaged in contemporary development research, development work and development studies.

Interviews with 180 federal agencies that conduct social research and development (R&D) were conducted and documents were examined to determine: (1) what types of social R&D are supported, and what levels of support are provided; (2) who defines the problems to be researched, who decides the level of support to be provided, and how investigators are selected and monitored; and (3) how potential users are involved in research decision making, and how the research results are disseminated. Major emphasis was on social R&D in the major policy areas of income security, health, early childhood, and the living environment (i.e., policy area that encompasses the patterns of growth and change in agricultural, urban, and metropolitan areas). One central insight revealed in the agency studies, all of which are summarized in this report, is that there is an enormous diversity of practices in all areas studied. In the concluding sections of the report, key conclusions, generally critical of current practices, are discussed, and a framework in which to analyze the actions of the social R&D managers is developed.

Using Biographical Methods in Social Research provides an informative, comprehensive, accessible and practical guide to the nature and use of biographical methods, combining a consideration of theoretical issues with practical guidance as well as reflections on the personal experience of doing research. Barbara Merrill and Linden West consider important questions about who and what research is for and what makes it valid, alongside the practical business of interviewing, transcribing, analyzing and writing up of biographical data. The authors draw on their sociological and psychological orientations to provide a truly interdisciplinary approach to the subject, and provide numerous examples of biographical research across the social sciences. This book will equip students with all the skills necessary to undertake biographical research as well as to fully understand what they are doing and the assumptions they make about the nature of truth, knowledge, story telling and being human. It will be useful for students and researchers using biographical methods in a range of disciplines, including sociology, social policy, social psychology, health care and education.

In a series of 100 mini workshops on proposal development during one month training of senior professionals on research methodology, orientation and refresher training of faculty from universities and colleges, and analysis of data of more than 5000 Ph.D scholars and national level projects by the authors of this book, several pitfalls emerged in the selection of research area and topic/title of a study, objectives, hypothesis formulation, research design, development of research tools, and analysis of data. The errors committed at planning stage of research continue throughout the research work and get its serious reflection in the quality of research. During the training, the presentation of Research Proposals developed as part of individual and group assignments reinforced the faith of authors that the skills required for quality research are missing in the system. And it cannot be fully overcome through the tutorial methodology. The knowledge about the research process is crucial but not sufficient to enrich the research skills for quality research. It was realized that most of the books do not explain how to decide the research area and title of a study? How to set the objectives and how to establish relationship between two? These two features not independent constructs and should be mirror of each other. How to ensure the quality in the review of literature? How should it be carried out? How to find research gaps and how to set research questions to be answered in the research studies? How to formulate correct hypothesis, decide the research design, and develop research tools? How and from where to pick up variables for developing the research tools? How much crystallization of each objective helps researchers to get items for developing the tools such as questionnaire, interview schedule, check list for observation, and measurement scale for attitude, perception, belief, etc. about the phenomenon under exploration. What type of statistical tools are used for data analysis? In-depth understanding of these sub-steps under each stage of research looks to be bigger area of confusion for researchers.The book on Research Skill Development in Social Sciences, Communication and Management has been written in the self-guide form to answer the issues listed above
