The principles and procedures of research are presented for those seeking to use and apply research rather than necessarily carrying out research themselves. The subject offers critical perspectives on research covering both qualitative and quantitative methods. Applied research, including policy and programme evaluation as carried out in policy contexts, provides a basis for critique of actual research projects and publications.
