Research Methodology को कैसे समझें? Important Books. MA & Phd Aspirants.

Welcome to Shodharthi! 🎓
In this video, I introduce Research Methodology for beginners — an essential guide for anyone starting their academic research journey.
We begin by asking the fundamental questions:
What is Methodology?
How is it different from Methods?
What is the Philosophy of Science behind research?
What are Research Tools and Techniques?
How can a student develop a methodological foundation for research work?
This video aims to make you think critically about how research actually works — not just as a technical process, but as a philosophical inquiry into how knowledge is created.
I’ve also suggested some essential books to build your understanding:
📘 Ranjit Kumar – Research Methodology: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners
📗 W. Lawrence Neuman – Social Research Methods: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches
📕 Alan Bryman – Social Research Methods
📙 James Ladyman – Understanding Philosophy of Science
These texts provide a strong conceptual and practical grounding for students of social sciences, humanities, and interdisciplinary studies.
Whether you’re preparing for your PhD, MPhil, MA dissertation, or just beginning your research journey, this video will help you understand the why and how of research methodology.
