Real World Research, 3rd Edition

Welcome to the website for Real World Research by Colin Robson. This website gives you access to a wide range of additional material of various kinds and PowerPoint slides for each chapter.

The material includes examples of real world research, details of useful and interesting websites, annotated lists of recently published texts relevant to each chapter, and extended discussion of topics covered in the text. Most research examples are from journal articles; others are published reports of various kinds. As discussed in Chapter 3, p.55, you will need access to a university or other academic library to get full-text versions of many journal articles, although abstracts are often freely available and there is an increasing number of journals where access to the full text is also free. (a list of such open-access journals relevant to real world research is also provided).
