Net26 Mod 1: The Research Methods Knowledge Base
URL: http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/
Citation:
Trochim, William M. The Research Methods Knowledge Base, 2nd Edition. Internet WWW page, at URL: <http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/> (version current as of October 20, 2006).
This is a web based textbook that covers the topics in a typical introductory undergraduate course in social research methods. Covers the entire research process including: formulating research questions; sampling (probability and nonprobability); measurement (surveys, scaling, qualitative, unobtrusive); research design (experimental and quasi-experimental); data analysis; and, writing the research paper. Also addresses the major theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of research including: the idea of validity in research; reliability of measures; and ethics.
This looks like a very interesting site, and would be a good starting point to learn more about research methods. There is a table of contents which divides each section into "chapters". I found the site very easy to use, and is one I would definitely refer back to.
