This is an interesting, fresh approach, describing the development of research methodologies throughout the years… Much better than my current textbook.
This book is easy to read and teach. Students can understand the language and be able to use it with their own research. It is both modern and has history of research within it. Overall, students would benefit in early research to using this book.
I can think of no other research methods book I've recently used that devotes this much attention to theory and I think this attention is well-deserved.
The discussion or parsimony, falsification, and precision within this book are particularly welcomed and map precisely how I teach these topics.
I like that there is a chapter devoted to making connections to theory. This is novel. I have not seen such a chapter in similar texts, and it is important. Often junior scholars ask questions for the sake of simplicity or curiosity but lack the skills to link their inquiries to theory. This chapter is a useful contribution!
A high-level but readable textbook presenting research design and methods in an approachable way. The text would be appropriate for graduate level psychology, organizational behavior, or decision sciences courses in research methods.
I would describe this book as a long-form publication that provides knowledge on methodological best practices in social and behavioral science disciplines. The writing is explicit and bridges the gap between knowledge and applicability and presents a comprehensive review of the research process from beginning to end.
The text combines research methods and statistics and could work very well for graduate-level programs with combined coursework.
- Comprehensive, ground-breaking coverage of research methods from start to finish by renowned author, editor, and researcher Herman Aguinis.
- Research Methods "Best Practices" , synthesized from decades of work on methodological research, help students and researchers conduct rigorous and impactful research, from picking research topics to disseminating research.
- Systemic chapter formats throughout detail why the particular methodological topic is important and demonstrate that the best-practice recommendations are actionable and implementable.
- Core chapter topics—such as contributing to theory, planning your research, and sampling and measurement— clearly explain basic steps while offering cutting-edge information for experienced researchers .
- Unique chapters on Transparency, Reproducibility, and Replication and Enhancing the Impact of Your Research give time-tested advice on how to best contribute to the body of knowledge in the social and behavioral science.
- Checklists and tables throughout the book help students see best practices at each stage of the research process at a glance.
- The modular approach of this text ensures instructors and readers can cover only the topics most relevant to their students and to themselves, saving time while strengthening their research.

Critical evaluation of current isolation, detection and genotyping methods of cryptosporidium species and future direction.
Globally, Cryptosporidium continues to pose a significant health and economic burden despite significant efforts to develop effective on-site biosecurity and best management practices. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study (2016), this parasitic protozoan is responsible for more than 48 thousand deaths in children under the age of five and 7.2 million disability-adjusted life-years worldwide. Additionally, most Cryptosporidium species (e.g., Cryptosporidium hominis, Cryptosporidium parvum, etc.) are resistant to the majority of common disinfectants and can survive outside the body for extended periods. Consequently, it is crucial to establish a prompt and accurate diagnosis as well as the severity of the disease to prevent the spread of parasites and to enable effective management strategies. USEPA Method 1623 is currently used in centralized laboratories to perform routine diagnostic tests for this parasite. This process is laborious, expensive, and time-consuming. In the past ten years, a multitude of techniques based on conventional molecular biology techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), nested-PCR, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), and nucleic acid sequence-based amplification, have been utilized to analyze Cryptosporidium species. Similarly, several biosensing techniques have been developed in recent years, including electrochemical biosensors and the CRISPR-Cas system in lateral flow assays. This review discusses the most frequently employed techniques for isolating, quantifying, and genotyping Cryptosporidium species, and their implication on the diagnostic landscape. A subsequent evaluation of the most significant technical and biological challenges and limitations of these techniques is also undertaken.
