Per-protocol analysis only counts those patients who completed the study as specified in the protocol. The intention-to-treat approach is generally preferred, as it preserves the benefits of randomization, given that patients choosing to withdraw from the study or receive care outside of the protocol may differ from those who complete the study as specified.
Readers requiring additional information on statistical tests and outcome analysis are referred to research and statistics textbooks in this area. Sample sizes are estimated on the basis of the expected effect size of the intervention versus the control on the primary outcome.
If the expected effect size cannot be estimated from previous studies in the area, it may be necessary to conduct a pilot of the RCT to estimate the effect size. Readers are referred to other articles for specific information on the design and utility of pilot studies. RCTs, by the nature of their study design, are less prone to bias than observational studies, and therefore the findings from RCTs strongly support causal inferences.
Because of this ability, it is expected that their findings will be reported and disseminated regardless of the outcome observed. To facilitate the consistent and transparent reporting of RCTs, the study should be added to a research registry before patient enrolment begins e.
Dissemination of study results may take the form of poster or oral presentations at academic or professional conferences, publication in a peer-reviewed journal, discussion via professional networks, or communication with decision-makers. This process of knowledge translation, to be addressed in a future paper of this series, is a key step toward ensuring the uptake and integration of new knowledge into practice.
The RCT is a valuable tool in various aspects of research in health care, from drug safety and effectiveness to studies of health professional interventions. To sufficiently isolate the impact of the intervention on the outcome, RCTs must be thoughtfully designed and conducted and must involve team members with expertise across all relevant clinical and methodological aspects. The planned 2-year series is intended to appeal to relatively inexperienced researchers, with the goal of building research capacity among practising pharmacists.
The articles, presenting simple but rigorous guidance to encourage and support novice researchers, are being solicited from authors with appropriate expertise. Tully MP. Research: articulating questions, generating hypotheses, and choosing study designs.

Anderson Jr. The explanation for each subject is carefully assembled to make sense to the reader. Too often the student of aerodynamics loses sight of that which is attempting to be achieved; to prevent this, I try to keep the reader informed of my aim whatsoever times. By way of instance, preview boxes have been introduced at the start of each chapter. These brief segments, literally place in boxes, would be to notify the reader in plain language what to expect from every chapter, and the content is exciting and important.
Additionally, each chapter includes a street map—a block structure designed to maintain the reader well conscious of the appropriate flow of ideas and theories. The usage of trailer boxes and chapter street maps are unique characteristics of this publication. It presumes no previous knowledge of fluid dynamics generally, or aerodynamics particularly. It will assume a familiarity with differential and integral calculus, in addition to the typical physics foundation common to the majority of students of engineering and science.
Additionally, the terminology of vector analysis can be employed generously; a compact overview of the vital components of vector algebra and vector calculus is provided in Chapter two in such a manner it may either instruct or refresh the reader, whatever might be the situation for every single individual. This ancient function in fluid dynamics has been superseded by modern theories and techniques. These days, the modern ideas of fluid dynamics, introduced in this publication, continue to be driven in part with the significance of reducing hull drag boats.

However, having a outline would help the reader. The text is not offensive and examples in it are mostly based on historical US based experiments. I would start of by saying that I am a supporter of the Open Textbook concept. While this book covers research methods basics, it cannot be recommended in its current form as an acceptable alternative to the standard text. Modifications to the text as recommended by myself and other reviewers might improve the quality of this book in the future.
For some topics, there is more and more practical information than in most textbooks. I appreciated the very practical advice to students about how to plot data in statistics chapters. Similarly, there is practical advice about how Similarly, there is practical advice about how to comply with ethical guidelines. The section on item development in surveys was very good. On the other hand, there is far too little information about some subjects.
For example, independent and dependent variables are introduced in passing in an early chapter and then referred to only much later in the text. In my experience, students have a surprisingly difficult time grasping this concept. Another important example is sampling; I would have preferred much more information on types of samples and sampling techniques, and the problems that arise from poor sampling.
A third example is the introduction to basic experimental design. Variables, measurement, validity, and reliability are all introduced in one chapter.
I did not see an index or glossary. The fundamentals of research methods do not change much. Given the current replication crisis in psychology, it might be helpful to have something about replicability. The text itself is spare and clear. The style of the book is to explain a concept in very few words.
There are some excellent aspects of this, but on the other hand, there are some concepts that students have a very difficult time undersatnding if they are not embedded in concrete examples. For example, the section on main effects and interactions shows bar graphs of interactions, but this is presented without variable names or axis titles, and separate from any specific experiment.
Sometimes the chapter stucture is laid out on the title page, and other times it is not. Some graphs lack titles and variable names. The chapters can be stand alone, but sometimes I found conceptually similar pieces spread across several chapters, and conceptually different pieces in the same chapters.
The individual sentences and paragraphs are always very clear. For example, perhaps a flow chart of different kinds of experimental designs would be useful. See section on comprehensiveness for more about organization. The flow from one topic to the next was adequate. I read the pdf. Many if the instances of apparently hyperlinked blue text to do not link to anything. Like most psychology textbooks available in the US, examples are focused on important experiments in US history.
I really wanted to be happy with this text. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book as superior in quality. The text includes basic, essential information needed for students in an introductory research methods course. In addition, the text includes three chapters i. However, I did have some areas of concern regarding the coverage of qualitative and mixed methods approaches, and nonparametric tests.
Although the author advocates for the research question to guide the choice of approach and design, minimal attention is given to the various qualitative designs e. In addition, common nonparametric tests e. The text overall is accurate and free of errors. I noticed in the qualitative research sub-section, the author describes qualitative research in general, but does not mention common practices associated with qualitative research, such as transcribing interviews, coding data e.
The information that is included appears accurate. The text appears up-to-date and includes basic research information and classic examples that rarely change, which may allow the text to be used for many years.
However, the author may want to add information about mixed methods research, a growing research approach, in order for the text to stay relevant across time. The text includes clear, accessible, straightforward language with minimal jargon.
When the author introduces a new term, the term is immediately defined and described. The author also provides interesting examples to clarify and expand understanding of terms and concepts throughout the text. The text is internally consistent and uses similar language and vocabulary throughout.
The author uses real-life examples across chapters in order to provide depth and insight into the information. In addition, the vocabulary, concepts, and organization are consistent with other research methods textbooks.
The modules are short, concise, and manageable for students; the material within each module is logically focused and related to each other. I may move the modules and the sub-topics within them into a slightly different order for my class, and add the information mentioned above, but overall, this is very good.
The author presents topics and structures chapters in a logical and organized manner. The epub and online version do not include page numbers in the text, but the pdf does; this may be confusing when referencing the text or answering student questions.
I used and compared the pdf, epub, and online versions of the text. The epub and online versions include a clickable table of contents, but the pdf does not. The table format is inconsistent across the three versions; in the epub version viewed through ibooks , the table data does not always line up correctly, making it difficult to interpret quickly.
In the pdf and online versions, the table format looks different, but the data are lined up. As I read through this text, I did not detect any glaring grammatical errors. Overall, I think the text is written quite well in a style that is accessible to students. The author uses inclusive, person-first language, and the text does not seem to be offensive or insensitive.
As I read, I did notice that topics such as diversity and cultural competency are absent. I enjoyed reading this text and am very excited to have a free research methods text for my students that I may supplement as needed. Overall, this is a great resource! This textbook covers all or nearly all of what I believe are important topics to provide an introduction to research methods in psychology. One minor issue is that the pdf version, which I reviewed, does not include an index or a glossary.
The book provides a solid overview of key issues related to introductory research methods, many of which are nearly timeless. I believe the text is organized in such a way that it could be easily divided into smaller sections. I did not notice any issues with the interface.
I reviewed the pdf version and thought the images were very helpful. This text covers everything I would consider essential for a first course in research methods, including some areas that are not consistently found in introductory texts e. The chapters on ethics Ch. There is no index or table of contents provided in the PDF, and the table of contents on the website is very broad, but the material is well organized and it would not be hard for an instructor to create such a table.
Chapter 2. I found the text to be highly accurate throughout; terms are defined precisely and correctly. Where there are controversies or differences of opinion in the field, the author presents both sides of the argument in a respectful and unbiased manner.
He explicitly discourages students from dismissing any one approach as inherently flawed, discussing not only the advantages and disadvantages of all methods including nonexperimental ones but also ways researchers address the disadvantages. In several places, the textbook explicitly addresses the history and development of various methods e.
This allows the author to present current thinking and debate in these areas yet still expose students to older ideas they are likely to encounter as they read the research literature.
I think this approach sets students up well to encounter future methodological advances; as a field, we refine our methods over time. I think the author could easily integrate new developments in future editions, or instructors could introduce such developments as supplementary material without creating confusion by contradicting the test. The examples are generally drawn from classic psychological studies that have held up well over time; I think they will appeal to students for some time to come and not appear dated.
The only area in which I did not feel the content was entirely up to date was in the area of psychological measurement; Chapter 5. However, a comprehensive treatment of measurement validity is probably not necessary for most undergraduates at this stage, and they will certainly encounter the older framework in the research literature. The textbook does an excellent job of presenting concepts in simple, accessible language without introducing error by oversimplification.
The author consistently anticipates common points of confusion, clarifies terms, and even suggests ways for students to remember key distinctions. Terms are clearly and concretely defined when they are introduced. In contrast to many texts I have used, the terms that are highlighted in the text are actually the terms I would want my students to remember and study; the author refrains from using psychological jargon that is not central to the concepts he is discussing.
The division of sections within each chapter is useful; although I liked the overall organization of the text, there were points at which I would likely assign sections in a slightly different order and I felt I could do this easily without loss of continuity.
The one place I would have liked more modularity was in the discussion of inferential statistics: t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson's r are all covered within Chapter On the one hand, this enables students to see the relationships and similarities among these tests, but on the other, this is a lot for students to take in at once. I found the overall organization of the book to be quite logical, mirroring the sequence of steps a researcher would use to develop a research question, design a study, etc.
As discussed above, the modularity of the book makes it easy to reorder sections to suit the structure of a particular class for example, I might have students read the section on APA writing earlier in the semester as they begin drafting their own research proposals. I like the inclusion of ethics very early on in the text, establishing the importance of this topic for all research design choices. One organizational feature I particularly appreciated was the consistent integration of conceptual and practical ideas; for example, in the discussion of psychological measurement, reliability and validity are discussed alongside the importance of giving clear instructions and making sure participants cannot be identified by their writing implements.
This gives students an accurate and honest picture of the research process - some of the choices we make are driven by scientific ideals and some are driven by practical lessons learned.
Students often have questions related to these mundane aspects of conducting research and it is helpful to have them so clearly addressed.
Although I didn't encounter any problems per se with the interface, I do think it could be made more user-friendly. For example, references to figures and tables are highlighted in blue, appearing to be hyperlinks, but they were not. Having such links, as well as a linked, easily-navigable and detailed table of contents, would also be helpful and useful to students who use assistive technology. Where necessary, the author uses inclusive language and there is nothing that seems clearly offensive.
The examples generally reflect American psychology research, but the focus is on the methods used and not the participants or cultural context. The text could be more intentionally or proactively inclusive, but it is not insensitive or exclusive. I am generally hard to please when it comes to textbooks, but I found very little to quibble with in this one.
It is a very well-written and accessible introduction to research methods that meets students where they are, addressing their common questions, misconceptions, and concerns. Although it's not flashy, the figures, graphics, and extra resources provided are clear, helpful, and relevant. The text covers all the areas and ideas of the subject of research methods in psychology for the learner that is just entering the field. The authors cover all of the content of an introductory research methods textbook and use exemplary examples The authors cover all of the content of an introductory research methods textbook and use exemplary examples that make those concepts relevent to a beginning researcher.
As the authors state, the material is presented in such a manner as to encourage learners to not only be effective consumers of current research but also engage as critical thinkers in the many diverse situations one encounters in everyday life. The content is accurate, error free, and unbiased.
It explains both quantiative and qualitative methods in an unbiased manner. It is a bit slim on qualitative. It would be nice to have a bit more information on, for example, creating interview questions, coding, and qualitative data anaylisis. The text is up to date, having just been revised. This revision was authored by Rajiv Jhangiani Capilano University, North Vancouver and includes the addition of a table of contents and cover page that the original text did not have, changes to Chapter 3 Research Ethics to include a contemporary example of an ethical breach and to reflect Canadian ethical guidelines and privacy laws, additional information regarding online data collection in Chapter 9 Survey Research.
Jhangiani has correcte of errors in the text and formulae, as well as changing spelling from US to Canadian conventions. The text is also now available in a inexpensive hard copy which students can purchase online or college bookstores can stock. This makes the text current and updates should be minimal. The text is very easy to read and also very interesting as the authors supplement content with amazing real life examples. This text is easily and readily divisible into smaller reading sections that can be assigned at different points within a course.
The topics in the text are presented in logical and clear fashion. The way they are presented allows the text to be used in conjuction with other textbooks as a secondary resource. The text is free of significant interface issues. It is written in a manner that follows the natural process of doing research.
The text is not culturally insensitive or offensive and actually has been revised to accomodate Canadian ethical guidelines as well as those of the APA. I have to say that I am excited to have found this revised edition. My students will be so happy that there is also a reasonable priced hard coopy for them to purchase.
They love the OpenStax Psychology text with the hard copy available from our bookstore. I do wish there were PowerPoints available for the text as well as a test bank. That is always a bonus! While these approaches were less commonly used in the recent past, they are prevalent in the early years of psychology and are ascending once again. It strikes me as odd to just ignore two whole families of methods that are used within the practice of psychology—definitely not a sustainable approach.
I do very much appreciate the emphasis on those who will both practice and consume psychology, given the wide variety of undergraduate career paths. It would be nice to make this a linked PDF, so that clicking on the entry in a TOC or cross-references would jump the reader to the relevant section. I did not see an errors.
The chapter on theory is not as clear as it could be. A bit more time spent here could have been good. This is a research methods text focused on experimental and association designs. The basics of these designs do not change a whole lot over time, so there is little likelihood that the main content will become obsolete anytime soon. The text is extremely clear and accessible. Then again, students often struggle with methods, so simplicity is good, and the simplicity can also make the book marketable to high school courses although I doubt many high schools have methods courses.
Yes, quite consistent throughout. Carrying through the same examples into different chapters is a major strength of the text. The book flows well, with brief sections. I do wonder if maybe the sections are too brief? Perhaps too many check-ins? As mentioned above, the book is written at a very basic level, so this brevity is consistent with that approach.
It is not a problem, per se, but those considering adopting the text should be aware of this aspect. The book is fairly typical of American research methods books in that it only focuses on the U. However, the text is certainly not insensitive or offensive in any way.
The text is well organized and written, integrates excellent pedagogical features, and covers all of the traditional areas of the topic admirably. The final two chapters provide a good bridge between the research methods course and the The final two chapters provide a good bridge between the research methods course and the follow-up course on behavioural statistics. The text integrates real psychological measures, harnesses students' existing knowledge from introductory psychology, includes well-chosen examples from real life and research, and even includes a very practical chapter on the use of APA style for writing and referencing.
On the other hand, it does not include a table of contents or an index, both of which are highly desirable. The one chapter that requires significant revision is Chapter 3 Research Ethics , which is based on the US codes of ethics e. Some formulae are missing the line that separates the numerator from the denominator. See pages , , , and 3. Table The writing flows well, is well organized, and includes excellent, detailed, and clear examples and explanations for concepts.
The examples often build on concepts or theories students would have covered in their introductory psychology course. Some constructive criticism: 1. When discussing z scores on page it might have been helpful to point out that the mean and SD for a set of calculated z scores are 0 and 1 respectively. Good students will come to this realization themselves, but it is not a bad thing to point it out nonetheless.
The introduction of the concept of multiple regression might be difficult for some students to grasp. The only place where I felt short of an explanation was in the use of a research example to demonstrate the use of a line graph on page Each module also includes useful exercises that help consolidate learning.
Only rarely did I feel that the author could have assisted the student by demonstrating the set-by-step calculation of a statistic e. The only serious issues that hamper navigation are the lack of a table of contents and an index. Many of the graphs will need to be printed in colour or otherwise modified for the students to follow the explanations provided in the text.
Of course, spellings are in the US convention. Of course, it is not a Canadian edition and so many of the examples all of which are easy to comprehend come from a US context. The only things left to mention are that the author should have clearly distinguished between mundane and psychological realism, and that, in my opinion, the threats to internal validity could have been grouped together and might have been closer to an exhaustive list.
