ENHANCING COMMUNICATION & COLLABORATION IN INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH

Edited by Michael O'Rourke, Stephen Crowley, Sanford D Eigenbrode and J D Wulfhorst
THE MYTH OF RESEARCH-BASED POLICY AND PRACTICE

Martyn Hammersley The Open University Martyn Hammersley's provocative new text interrogates the complex relationship between research, policy-making and practice, against the background of the evidence-based practice movement. Addressing a series of probing questions, this book reflects on the challenge posed by the idea that social research can directly serve policy-making and practice. Key questions explored include: is scientific research evidence based? what counts as evidence for evidence-based practice? is social measurement possible, and is it necessary? what are the criteria by which qualitative research should be judged?

DEVELOPING TRANSFERABLE SKILLS

Enhancing Your Research and Employment Potential
Pam Denicolo Universities of Reading and Surrey and Julie Reeves University of Southampton This book provides a succinct guide for doctoral and early career researchers about the nature of transferable skills, why they are needed and how they can be acquired, evidenced and marketed. In the UK, possession of a doctorate is no longer the rarity it once was and the competitive economic climate makes it even more critical that doctoral graduates can convince prospective employers of both their specialist and generic skills. In this context, institutions are also required to provide well organized, relevant training in skills development if they are to attract and retain doctoral candidates. With coverage of project management, teamworking, communication, leadership and technical skills, this book is an essential guide for researchers who want to make the most of the skills they have and acquire the skills they need.

ETHICS IN QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

Controversies and Contexts
Martyn Hammersley The Open University and Anna Traianou Goldsmiths, University of London Ethics in Qualitative Research explores conflicting philosophical assumptions, the diverse social contexts in which ethical problems arise, and the complexities of handling them in practice. The authors argue that the starting point for any discussion of research ethics must be the values intrinsic to research, above all the commitment to knowledge-production. However, the pursuit of inquiry is rightly constrained by external values, and the book focuses on three of these: minimizing harm; respecting autonomy; and protecting privacy.

CONSTRUCTING RESEARCH QUESTIONS

Doing Interesting Research
Mats Alvesson Lund University, Sweden and Jorgen Sandberg University of Queensland Traditional textbooks on research methods tend to ignore, or gloss over, actual ways of constructing research questions. Established methods of generating research questions in the social sciences tend to focus on 'gapspotting', which means that existing literature remains largely unchallenged. The authors show the dangers of conventional approaches, providing detailed ideas for how one can work through such problems and formulate novel research questions that challenge existing theories and produce more imaginative empirical studies.

Anthony Onwuegbuzie Sam Houston State University and Rebecca K Frels Lamar University This dynamic, seven-step guide to doing literature reviews focuses on published and unpublished works and then extends the search to include multimodal texts and settings such as media, observations, documents, experts in the field and secondary data through the idea that culture plays a central role in knowledge interpretation. The seven steps help demystify the literature review process and encourage readers to synthesize information thematically, rather than merely summarize the existing literature and findings. The book outlines the CORE of the literature review process - Critical thinking, Organization, Reflections and Evaluation - and provides a guide for reflexivity at the end of each of the seven steps.

Edited by David Gough, Sandy Oliver and James Thomas all at the Institute of Education This timely, engaging book provides an over view of the nature, logic, diversity and process of undertaking systematic reviews as par t of evidence-informed decision-making. A focused, accessible and technically up-todate book, it covers the full breadth of approaches to reviews from statistical meta-analysis to meta-ethnography. It is ideal for anyone undertaking their own systematic review - providing all the necessary conceptual and technical background needed to make a good start to the process. The content is divided into five clear sections: approaches to reviewing getting started gathering and describing research appraising and synthesizing data making use of reviews/models of research use.
Rumona Dickson and Angela Boland University of Liverpool Written by an expert team of authors with years of experience in conducting systematic reviews and supervising students doing systematic reviews, the book provides a roadmap to guide students through the process. The book addresses the following questions: whats the best way to manage my review? how do I formulate an appropriate review question? how do I develop my search strategy? how do I get started on data extraction? how do I assess the quality of the studies Im using? how can I analyse and synthesise my data? how should I write up the discussion and conclusion sections of my dissertation or thesis? where should I publish my data? Throughout the book, the authors make extensive use of questions posed by real students when carrying out reviews to help readers through some of the challenges they may face. This book will provide students with the tips and tools they need for a successful dissertation.

DOING QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DIFFERENTLY

A Psychosocial Approach
Second Edition
Wendy Hollway Open University and Tony Jefferson Keele University Wendy Hollway and Tony Jefferson have updated their ground-breaking book for students and researchers looking to do qualitative research differently. The new edition critically reviews many of the assumptions, claims and methods of qualitative research and also acts as a 'how to' guide to the method the authors call the 'free association narrative interview'. In the new edition, the authors situate their arguments firmly within a tradition of psychosocial research and show how their method has developed over the last decade. The book follows this approach through the phases of empirical research practice. At each stage, they use examples from their own research and end with an extended case study which demonstrates the value of their method in producing a psychosocial research subject; that is, one with socially imbued depth, complexity and biographical uniqueness.
DIGITAL TOOLS FOR QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

Trena Paulus University of Tennessee Knoxville, Jessica Lester Washington State University and Paul Dempster University of Leeds Digital Tools for Qualitative Research shows how the research process in its entirety can be supported by technology tools in ways that can save time and add robustness and depth to qualitative work. It addresses the use of a variety of tools (many of which may already be familiar to you) to support every phase of the research process, providing practical case studies taken from real world research. The text shows students how to select and use technology tools to: engage in reflexivity collaborate with other researchers and stakeholders manage their project do a literature review generate and manage data transcribe and analyse textual, audio and visual data and represent and share findings.

ANALYSIS IN QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

Hennie R Boeije University of Utrecht This book helps students prepare and successfully finish their qualitative data analysis. It sets out an easy to grasp model - the spiral of analysis - that shows how to break up the data with coding and how to subsequently integrate the data to yield a meaningful picture of the phenomenon under study. It offers useful devices to guide the reader through the last difficult integrating phase of qualitative analysis including diagramming, memoing, thinking aloud and using one's feelings. The book incorporates the support of software for qualitative data analysis. The analysis is placed in the context of modern quality criteria and the demands posed on the reporting. The book cannot take the place of the process of thinking about the data, but it does provide thinking aids and practical tools to process the data, which can result in interesting findings.
QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS FROM START TO FINISH

Jamie Harding University of Northumbria In this brilliant new book, Jamie Harding breaks down the process of analysing qualitative data into simple, retraceable steps. After providing some top tips for designing research and collecting data, he takes students through the different stages of analysis, from the first reading of transcripts, to presenting findings in a report or dissertation. For each stage of the process there are demonstrations using real data and exercises for students to perform. He unpicks what happens behind the scenes in qualitative data analysis the bit thats hard to learn without seeing it happen and trying it themselves. While acknowledging that there are many different forms that qualitative data analysis can take, the book provides a series of ideas and examples that students will find invaluable when analysing their own data.

THE SCIENCE OF EVALUATION

A Realist Manifesto
Ray Pawson University of Leeds Evaluation researchers are tasked with providing the evidence to guide programme-building and to assess its outcomes. As such, they labour under the highest expectations - bringing independence and objectivity to policy making. They face huge challenges, given the complexity of modern interventions and the politicised backdrop to all of their investigations. They have responded with a huge portfolio of research techniques and, through their professional associations, have set up schemes to establish standards for evaluative inquiry and to accredit evaluation practitioners. A big question remains: has this monumental effort produced a progressive, cumulative and authoritative body of knowledge that we might think of as evaluation science? This is the question addressed by Ray Pawson in this sequel to Realistic Evaluation (SAGE, 1997) and Evidence-Based Policy (SAGE, 2006). In answer, he provides a detailed blueprint for an evaluation science based on realist principles.

DISCOVERING STATISTICS USING R

Andy Field University of Sussex, Jeremy Miles RAND Corporation and Zo Field University of Sussex Discovering Statistics Using R takes students on a journey of statistical discovery using R, a free, flexible and dynamically changing software tool for data analysis that is becoming increasingly popular across the social and behavioural sciences throughout the world. The journey begins by explaining basic statistical and research concepts before a guided tour of the R software environment. Next students discover the importance of exploring and graphing data, before moving onto statistical tests that are the foundations of the rest of the book (for example correlation and regression). Readers will then stride confidently into intermediate level analyses such as ANOVA, before ending their journey with advanced techniques such as MANOVA and multilevel models. Although there is enough theory to help students gain the necessary conceptual understanding of what they're doing, the emphasis is on applying what they learn to playful and real-world examples that should make the experience more fun than they might expect.

RESEARCHING ORGANISATIONS
The Practice of Organisational Fieldwork
Matthew Jones Judge Institute of Management, University of Cambridge Although there are plenty of books that discuss the principles, the philosophy and the techniques of research in organisations, it is much harder to find information on what doing research in organisations actually involves in practice.

AFFECT AND EMOTION

A New Social Science Understanding
Margaret Wetherell The Open University In recent years, there has been a huge surge of interest in affect and emotion. Scholars want to discover how people are moved, and understand embodied social action, feelings and passions. This book systematically reviews research in psychology and neuroscience, critical and social psychology, and in sociology, politics and cultural studies. It develops a critique of the 'turn to affect' and argues for an approach based on affective practice. This is a moment in the social sciences requiring concentrated interdisciplinary attention on the figuring of the body and meaning-making. New analyses are needed to explain how affect travels, settles, circulates and coalesces.
