Ph.D. Research Methodology - Online Book

An online book is assembled with online papers and articles on research methodology written by various professors and researchers.

The book as well as the course on research methodology is developed on the understanding that Ph.D. research is aimed at developing new theory or testing the theory to increase its validity.

Theory is developed to help practice. But before any theory can be widely used in practice in many situations, geographical areas and time periods, its validity is to be ascertained. Hence researchers have to test the theory in various conditions and assure to users that there is adequate confidence that the theory is valid and practitioners can use the theory for decision making.
