The book contains 12 Sections that take the reader through a step by step process of understanding research methodology. It focuses on research writing, drawing relevant inputs from the subject of research methodology. In a simplified style, it provides practical insights into the research process beginning with choosing a subject or area for research, framing questions, finding sources, and structuring the outputs. With numerous examples, illustrations and tips, it facilitates an understanding of the research process that every researcher should possess and assimilate. It also provides standardized formats that are valuable to PhD scholars and Post-Doctoral Fellows. The author has drawn insights from his substantial publication and editorial experience to make the contents instructive, yet easy to assimilate and utilize gainfully.
