I'm a student of English literature. I want to study literary pieces with the help of quantitative methods/ tools like using databases for counting and coding data, use of scales, graphs, etc. I want to start reading with simple yet any best book of quantitative research.
Kindly make my way easy by sharing books, papers, research reports along with your critical comments.
Regards,
Please take a look in my profile and my papers. All of them, especially for Journals with high impact factor need to have a good research background.
With kind regards,
NP
Easiest way of understanding quantitative methods is by reading reports of quantitative studies, may be you can start with simple descriptive or exploratory studies and then move to not so simpler evaluative and experimental studies.. Once you understand "why" and "when" the quantitative methods are used, then explore by reading text books which says "how" it is done
Can you provide me some good books on quantitative research?
You can refer to the 1st RG link below on some quantitative research books - in order to understand on the basic of descriptive statistics, use of scale data & plotting graphs etc. you can refer to Andy Field's SPSS book.
However, I saw you also mentioned "coding data" not sure this is referring to qualitative data analysis / qualitative research - if yes you can refer to the 2nd RG link that include some qualitative research as well as some mixed method research books that you can take a look. Wishing you all the best.
