Summary
Dragan Popadić, Zoran Pavlović, Iris Žeželj: Tools of the researcher
At a time when we are faced with both a worrying increase in anti-intellectualism and uncritical mystification of scientific research, this book supports researchers in the belief that research is more than the correct application of certain methods and techniques, and readers in the active application of research findings in the social sciences. The book provides a systematic overview of modern methods and techniques used by researchers in the social sciences. The authors have very skilfully integrated a large amount of available knowledge about individual methods and techniques. They explained complex and abstract matter in an understandable and illustrative way, enabling readers to gain practical knowledge, but also a deeper understanding of each individual method and technique. With this book, researchers receive an important manual in planning, preparing and implementing their research, and users of research findings in the social sciences receive support in understanding and applying the findings, which were created as a result of the application of certain methods and techniques.
That is why this book - which describes methods as tools for thinking about problems and for their research - will itself become a tool for those who are just entering the field, or who would like to check their understanding of certain approaches and methods.
