Advising on research methods: Selected topics 2012


During last year's course `Advising on research methods' given at the Department of psychological methods by Don Mellenbergh and myself, participants (master's students) wrote papers on methodological topics which were afterwards collected in a booklet entitled:

Advising on research methods: Selected topics 2012
Edited by Herman J. Adèr and Gideon J. Mellenbergh

The booklet is published by Johannes van Kessel (ISBN 97-890-79418-21-3).
Since the papers were carefully reviewed, the contributions are of high quality.
The table of contents is:
