About our Research Methods ebooks

Whether you are writing a thesis, planning a study, or evaluating a program, a clear methods text helps you choose the right design, collect good data, and report your findings correctly. This collection includes widely used textbooks for graduate methods courses and practical guides to evaluation.

Choose a methods book that matches your field and the type of study you are planning. Qualitative researchers need guidance on interviewing, coding, and analysis, while quantitative researchers need solid coverage of sampling, measurement, and statistical tests. Graduate students writing a thesis or dissertation often keep one broad methods textbook alongside a focused guide to their chosen approach, such as survey research or program evaluation.

All titles are available as PDF or EPUB downloads.
