Recenzje

'This book covers many topics in methodology and statistics from a wide variety of voices and perspectives. Collectively, they comprise what might be the most comprehensive single book about how to conduct social-behavioral research. Even more than covering the design and conduct of research, the book situates the reader in their role as a scholar, teacher, reviewer, and colleague in advancing rigorous and credible research.'
