Synopsis

How does one tell if the appropriate design or analysis was used in a research article? Using examples of both good and flawed studies, Ellen R Girden shows how to read qualitative and quantitative research articles critically from start to finish. She explains how to decide whether the conclusions reported in an article are justified, based on the design and analysis of the experiment. By first demonstrating how to analyze an article in each design category - for example, correlational study, factor analysis, narrative analysis - Girden uses targeted questions to assist the reader′s critique of each major section of an article.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Evaluating Research Articles, Second Edition will help researchers reach a decision about any conclusion reported in a research article. It takes you through articles with the author, noting the rationale for a study, its purpose, the soundness of the design, the appropriateness of the analysis of data and interpretations of the results, the conclusion reached, and whether it is justified. Types of studies range from descriptive (e.g., case studies, surveys, correlation) to analytical (e.g., experiments involving two or more matched or randomly formed groups). Types of analyses range from simple t-tests to multivariate (e.g., analyses of variance, factor analysis, and multiple regression). This new edition also includes things to look for in the article, in the form of readily accessible lists of factors in the design and statistical analyses that are critical for determining appropriateness of conclusions. There is greater coverage of designs and analyses of data, more up-to-date articles, more articles to critique without help (but answers provided), and a glossary of all technical, relevant terms.
