How to Design and Report Experiments

This textbook provides a complete map of the entire process, beginning with how to get ideas about research, how to refine the research question and the actual design of the experiment, leading on to statistical procedure and assistance with writing up the results. While many books look at the fundamentals of doing successful experiments and include good coverage of statistical techniques, this book very importantly considers the process in chronological order with specific attention given to effective design in the context of likely methods needed and expected results. Without full assessment of these aspects, the experience and results may not end up being as positive as one might have hoped. Ample coverage is then provided of statistical data analysis, and the reporting of findings, with numerous examples and helpful tips of common downfalls throughout.
