Summary :

The authors felt during their several years of teaching experience that
students fail to understand the books written on Research Methodology
because generally they are written in technical language. Since this
course is not taught before the Master’s degree, the students are not
familiar with its vocabulary, methodology and course contents.
The authors have made an attempt to write it in very nontechnical language. It has been attempted that students who try to
understand the research methodology through self-learning may also
find it easy. The chapters are written with that approach. Even those
students who intend to attain high level of knowledge of the research
methodology in social sciences will find this book very helpful in
understanding the basic concepts before they read any book on
research methodology.
This book is useful those students who offer the Research
Methodology at Post Graduation and M.Phil. Level. This book is also
very useful for Ph.D. Course Work examinations.
