The Research Process: Literature Review and Other Strategies
Abstract
This chapter considers the research processes and strategies that are critical when conducting an inquiry. While the subsequent chapters shall help in the understanding of the philosophical standpoints in research, this chapter discusses strategies and decisions the researcher may take to achieve a good enough inquiry. The discussion will focus on providing useful descriptions of what the research process entails and further explore approaches to the review of literature, the strategic role of the researcher, the ethical and analytic strategies and triangulation strategies for achieving valid findings in a study. The chapter begins by locating the research's critical position in epistemology and the rationale for engaging in a systematic process, which includes data collection and logical analysis of findings. Some examples and samples have been provided to help especially those who are new to research.
