Advising on research methods (e-Book)

The eBooks collected in the bundel Advising on research methods: Selected topics 2011/2012 result from a research master course Methodological Advice that was given at the University of Amsterdam in 2011 and 2012 by Don Mellenbergh and Herman Adèr. The objective of this course is: (a) to acquire methodological knowledge that is needed for advising researchers in the behavioral and social sciences, and (b) to get experience with methodological consultancy. The main material for the course was the book: Advising on research methods: a consultant's companion by Herman J. Adèr and Gideon J. Mellenbergh (with contributions by David J. Hand). The students have to fulfill various assignments, one of which is to write a paper on a topic that may come up during methodological consultancy. In the beginning of the course, paper topics are selected from a list of relevant methodological issues. The publication process of drafting, submitting, reviewing, adapting and correcting was the same as in the production of any other edited paper collection.
