About the Book
This book is a comprehensive and student-friendly guide to Research Methodology, specifically designed to meet the academic requirements of Library and Information Science students studying at Indian universities. Written in a clear and concise manner, it introduces readers to the fundamental concepts, methods, techniques, and tools required for conducting effective research.
The book begins with an introduction to the principles of research methodology, explaining the significance of research, formulation of research problems, research design, and literature review. It then explores various research methods including historical, survey, experimental, case study, scientific, and statistical research approaches.
A dedicated section focuses on research techniques and data collection tools such as questionnaires, interviews, observations, schedules, checklists, and the use of library records and reports. The book further provides an extensive discussion on statistics and its applications in research, covering descriptive statistics, measures of central tendency and dispersion, correlation, linear regression, Chi-square tests, t-tests, z-tests, F-tests, and various methods of data presentation including tables, graphs, bar charts, and pie charts.
In addition, readers are introduced to statistical software and analytical tools such as MS Excel, SPSS, and web-based statistical analysis platforms. The final chapter covers metric studies including Scientometrics, Infometrics, and Webometrics, along with guidance on research report writing and major citation and referencing styles such as APA, MLA, Chicago, and ISI formats.
