Developing Research Questions [antikvár]

Acknowledgements I originally had the idea for this book while working on the Economic and Social Research Council's Research Capacity Building Network (RCBN). I would like to thank Chris Taylor and Stephen Gorard for their help and advice and the very useful discussions we had on the subject during the course of that project. 1 am also very grateful to Martyn Hammersley, Anne Edwards and Peter Kutnick for their contributions to the RCBN Research Questions Workshop that I was responsible for organizing. I would like to thank Edumund Chattoe-Brown, David Bartram and Alan Bryman, all of who offered me valuable advice, and to Derek Layder, who very generously read and commented on an early copy of the manuscript. 1 am indebted to both of the anonymous reviewers, who provided me with feedback that was both comprehensive and extremely useful. I would like to express my gratitude to Catherine Gray and Emily Salz, for their initial enthusiasm and support, and to Anna Reeve for managing and co-ordinating the project so diligently. Finally, I would like to thank Emma Smith, not only for her close reading of many drafts of this book, but for her never-ending patience and support. IX
