Personal Review: The Research Methods Knowledge Base by
James P Donnelly

I used this text in my doctoral studies. This has to be the most accessible
text on the subject I have yet to see. The examples are simple, the
language lacks complexity, and the logical order of text is commendable.
For someone wanting to understand research methods that does not have
the supporting background, this is a great primer text. What this text does
better than others I've seen is that it does a nice job explaining the
multitude of research designs available for researchers.
The single weakness that I would attribute to this text is that it doesn't help
the researcher pick which statistical tests to use for their particular
research very well. With that said, it is obviously not intended to be a
statistics book and does not go to the depth needed to complete doctoral
level research by itself, but it is an excellent companion text.
