I am seeking a very good free online source for 'Research Methods' please (for qualitative and quantitative). Your assistance in finding out such a source would be greatly appreciated.
Online Research Panels and Online Research Communities are two types of online research communities. Two methods for doing research are research panels and research communities. Whereas research panels are mostly used for qualitative research, research communities are mostly utilized for quantitative data.
Remember to rely on observation if you are unable to obtain excellent data through surveys, interviews, or group discussions. It is the most effective and reliable qualitative data collecting approach for generating qualitative data since it involves little to no effort from the participants.
A good free source is: Bhattacherjee, A. 2012. Social Science Research: Principles, Methods, and Practices. USF Tampa Bay: Florida. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1002&context=oa_textbooks
