Description:
This book provides a bridge between the introductory research
methods books and the discipline-specific, higher level texts.



Its unique feature is the coverage of the detailed process of
research rather than the findings of research projects. Chapter
authors have been carefully selected by their expertise, discipline
and location to give an eclectic range of perspectives. Particular
care has been taken to balance positivist with interpretivist
approaches throughout. The authors focus is on the practical
consequences of research philosophies, strategies and techniques by
using their own research and by evaluating the work of
others.



Advanced Research Methods in the Built Environment
addresses common topics raised by postgraduate level researchers
rather than dealing with all aspects of the research process.
Issues covered range from the practicalities of producing a journal
article to the role of theory in research.



The material brought together here provides a valuable resource
for the training and development of doctoral and young researchers
and will contribute to a new sense of shared methodological
understanding across built environment research.
