Secondary Research: Information Sources and Methods - David W. Stewart - Hardcover

This volume focuses on the secondary research process to provide an introduction to locating, using, evaluating, and integrating already published data -- with an emphasis on material that is useful for the most common applications. The book also discusses how inconsistencies within and between sources can be resolved, and considers the problem of combining data to find the answer to a specific question. This volume, the first of its kind, was designed as a reference book and supplement to more traditional social science research texts. With its sample exercises it is extremely practical, providing a justification for 'cheap research' -- research conducted without the need for new data collection.Stewart, David E. is the author of 'Secondary Research: Information Sources and Methods - David W.
