Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative and Mixed Methods, 2023

Conducting a well-established research requires deep knowledge about the research designs. Doing research can be likened to jumping into the sea which may transform into a huge ocean if the researcher is not experienced. As a PhD candidate and a novice researcher, I believe that the book "Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative and Mixed Methods Approaches" by J.W. Creswell is a true reference guide for novice researchers since it is the most comprehensive and informative source with its reader-friendly structure.

Craft of Research (CoR) Study/Discussion Guide

Chapter 7: making good arguments: an overview, top ten salient sentence strings.

  • In a research report, you make a claim , back it with reasons , support them with evidence , acknowledge and respond to the other views, and sometimes explain your principles of reasoning.
  • Reasons support main claims, but "lower" reasons can support "higher" reasons.
  • At the core of every research report is the answer to the research question, the solution to your problem - your main claim. You have to back up that claim with two kinds of support: reasons and evidence.
  • No thoughtful reader will accept your claim based solely on your views: you must also address theirs.
  • Careful readers will question every part of your argument, so you must anticipate as many of their questions as you can, and then acknowledge and respond to the most important ones.
  • The challenge all researchers face, however, is not just responding to readers' questions, alternatives, and objections, but imagining them in the first place.
  • Only evidence "stands alone", but even then you must explain where you got it and maybe why you think it's reliable, and that may require yet another argument.
  • Readers judge your arguments not just by the facts you offer, but by how well you anticipate their questions and concerns. In doing so, they also judge the quality of your mind, even your implied character, traditionally called your ethos .
  • When you acknowledge other views and explain your principles of reasoning in warrants, you give readers good reason to work with you in developing and testing new ideas.
  • In the long run, the ethos you project in individual arguments hardens into your reputation, something every researcher must care about, because your reputation is the tactit sixth element in every argument you write. It answers the unspoken question, Can I trust you? That answer must be Yes .
