I wowould recommend Murray Sidman’s (1960)Tactics of Scientific Research. Happy reading

Dr. Imam, Thank you very much for kindly sharing!

A free book that I regularly use 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

I'm biased, but: https://www.amazon.com/Research-Methods-in-Psychology/dp/1526488922

Take a look at Research Methods Knowledge Base, by William M.K. Trochim.

If you're interested in thinking, but not necessarily a cookbook, try Claude Bernard's Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine. Bernard was a driving force in medicine's 1800s-era quest to become scientific, so you see him wrestling the the premises that will ultimately define acceptable methods. Think of this as a rigorous study in "why" rather than "how to."

I confess that it is many years since I read Claude Bernard. But I do remember some of his comments about the question "why". Take this paragraph, for example (boldface added):

When, by successive analyses, we find the immediate cause determining the circumstances in which a phenomenon presents itself, we reach a scientific goal beyond which we cannot pass. When we know that water, with all its properties, results from combining oxygen and hydrogen in certain proportions, we know everything we can know about it; and that corresponds to the how and not to the why of things. We know how water can be made; but why does the combination of one volume of oxygen with two volumes of hydrogen produce water? We have no idea. In medicine it is equally absurd to concern one’s self with the question “why.” Yet physicians ask it often. It was probably to make fun of this tendency, which results from lack of the sense of limits to our learning, that Moliere put the following answer into the mouth of his candidate for the medical degree. Asked why opium puts people to sleep, he answered: ”Quia est in eo virtus dormitiva, cujus est natura sensus assoupire?’ This answer seems ludicrous and absurd; yet no other answer could be made. In the same way, if we wished to answer the question: “Why does hydrogen, in combining with oxygen, produce water?” we should have to answer: “Because hydrogen has the quality of being able to beget water.” Only the question “why,” then, is really absurd, because it necessarily involves a naive or ridiculous answer. So we had better recognize that we do not know; and that the limits of our knowledge are precisely here.

The list by Kharbach (2022) encompasses good reads in research methodology. You could check it out. Here it is in full citation.

Good luck,

Hi.

I recommend reading articles and books by #Hair, JF, Risher, JJ, #Sarstedt, M., and #Ringle, CM.

ex:

Article A concept analysis of methodological research on composite-b...

Article Factors vs. composites: Guidelines for choosing the right st...

&....

for science social research i used Saunders book for chapter 3 in explaining the research onion and research methodology by Creswell . this two book explain very well for chapter 3.

for analysis , choose the expert in that are for example Andy field for SPSS, Prof Ramayah, Hair 2017 book for PLS-SEM.

I wish you all the best and success dear Binti Mohamed Rafi.

The Methodos Series edited by the philosopher of science Robert Franck and me, as a social scientist, by Spinger, may be very useful for graduate students, doctoral students, reseachers and academicians to read for understanding or for refreshing their knowledge on research methodology and emerging research methods in social science.

This Book Series is devoted to examining and solving the major methodological problems social sciences are facing. Thes problems are well known and yet they are seldom treated in depth in scientific litterature beacuse of their general nature.

You will have in the added file a more general presentation of this Series, and a summary of the 19 published volume at this time.

El clásico Metodología de la Investigación de Sampieri aplicable a cualquier tipo de investigación

Research Methodology- R Korhari.

Thank you

Hai research methodology book that i prefer and recommended is Saunders research onion 2019 help in developing the entire process in research

Creswell 2016 for understanding the systematic literature review (SLR), the interview process, philosophy and mix method research mode (researcher interest).

For analysis hair 2016, 2019 for PLS -SEM analysis, SPSS may used Andy Field books, SPSS for dummy .

if you have interview coded you may used atlast.ti or Nvivo

its depend on the researcher what to expand for their research.

thank you.

R C Kothari - Research Methodology

En México el libro referente para la investigación es Metodología la Investigación de Roberto Hernández Sampeiri, es un libro muy didáctico que se puede aplicar a cualquier tipo de investigación

Architectural Research Methods (David Wang Linda N. Groat)

I think C. R. Kothari's Research Methodology and S. Kevin's Research Methodology for Social Sciences are best and authentic for the said field.

hai

i prefer Saunders 2019 Book research onion explain the whole process of research in Chapter 3.

for analysis PLS-SEM you may used Hair 2016 or 2019

SPSS analysis may used SPSS for dummy and Andy Field book

if you have an interview and need to transcription and coded may used Nvivo book or Atlast.ti book

Creswell 2016 is suitable if you conducted mix mode research and depend for your research question. thank you

For those wishing to limit physical library space, the online space is awash with relevant material.

I used the Pastrana et al. (2018) article on frequently assigned readings in ABA programs to help identify articles to include in my research courses.

Murray Sidman's Tactics of Scientific Research is still worth reading. Also - The Analysis of Covariance and Alternatives: Statistical Methods for Experiments, Quasi-Experiments, and Single-Case Studies by Bradley Huitema; texts on analysis of sequential dyadic interactions - such as those by Gottman and Allison; and any one of a number of texts on classification trees and neural networks which can be best learned by playing with the programs
