This book has been specially written for the beginners, who have just entered into the world of research and have little to no knowledge or experience in the field. The book concentrates on the fundamental preliminaries of research, where a new researcher may run into difficulties right off the bat. The chapters in the book are organised in a systematic way, starting with how to choose a research topic; moving on to how to formulate a research problem, how to collect data, how to analyse and interpret data; and ending with the usual ethical concerns associated with producing a quality research report. The book will serve as an excellent directive for the novice researchers looking for a way to carry out their research works.
