Research Methodology: Best Practices for Rigorous, Credible, and Impactful Research takes a 360-degree view of understanding and doing research, helping readers become expert researchers, reviewers, and consumers of research. Renowned author, journal editor, and researcher Herman Aguinis distills the vast body of work on methodological best practices into a singular experience. Each of the 16 chapters thoroughly explains a different aspect of methodology step by step, from choosing useful and compelling research topics to reporting results accurately and credibly. Researchers at all career stages will find this text helpful to structure and conduct high-impact empirical research aimed at producing a thesis, dissertation, and journal publication, and research consumers to evaluate the rigor and credibility of research conducted by others. Instructors will find the book's modular approach refreshing by assigning students the most relevant topics-from just a checklist of best practices to an in-depth treatment of a topic. Filled with ""how-to"" and ""dos and don'ts"" guidelines, figures, hands-on exercises, and ""methods in practice"" boxes that summarize and apply best practices, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in producing or reading research.

Reviews for Research Methodology: Best Practices for Rigorous, Credible, and Impactful Research

This is an interesting, fresh approach, describing the development of research methodologies throughout the years… Much better than my current textbook. -- Verl Anderson 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. -- Mindy Myers 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. -- Ewa Golebiowska The discussion or parsimony, falsification, and precision within this book are particularly welcomed and map precisely how I teach these topics. -- Scot Schraufnagel 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! -- Rachel R. Tambling 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. -- Kristina M. Patterson 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. -- Meghan Pfeiffer The text combines research methods and statistics and could work very well for graduate-level programs with combined coursework. -- Michael T. Moore
