Research Methods

Research methodsResearch involves collecting information sources and data. Research  methods are the tools which you use to carry out this research. They help you find, analyse and interpret the information. 

As you conduct your searches, you might find quantitativequalitative or mixed methods research. You might conduct primary or secondary research as part of your studies.

Our Research Methods guide will help you navigate through this process and understand the differences between the research areas.
