Such diverse thinkers as Lao-Tze, Confucius, and U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld have all pointed out that we need to be able to tell the difference between real and assumed knowledge. The systematic review is a scientific tool that can help with this difficult task. It can help, for example, with appraising, summarising, and communicating the results and implications of otherwise unmanageable quantities of data.This book, written by two highly-respected social scientists, provides an overview of systematic literature review methods:* Outlining the rationale and methods of systematic reviews;* Giving worked examples from social science and other fields;* Applying the practice to all social science disciplines;* It requires no previous knowledge, but takes the reader through the process stage by stage;* Drawing on examples from such diverse fields as psychology, criminology, education, transport, social welfare, public health, and housing and urban policy, among others.* Including detailed sections on assessing the quality of both quantitative, and qualitative research; searching for evidence in the social sciences;meta-analytic and other methods of evidence synthesis; publication bias; heterogeneity; and approaches to dissemination.

Thomas S. Kuhn's classic book is now available with a new index. "A landmark in intellectual history which has attracted attention far beyond its own immediate field. . . . It is written with a combination of depth and clarity that make it an almost unbroken series of aphorisms. . . . Kuhn does not permit truth to be a criterion of scientific theories, he would presumably not claim his own theory to be true. But if causing a revolution is the hallmark of a superior paradigm, [this book] has been a resounding success." --Nicholas Wade, 'Science' "Perhaps the best explanation of [the] process of discovery." --William Erwin Thompson, 'New York Times Book Review' "Occasionally there emerges a book which has an influence far beyond its originally intended audience. . . . Thomas Kuhn's 'The Structure of ' 'Scientific Revolutions' . . . has clearly emerged as just such a work." --Ron Johnston, 'Times Higher Education Supplement' "Among the most influential academic books in this century." -- 'Choice' --One of "The Hundred Most Influential Books Since the Second World War," 'Times Literary Supplement' Thomas S. Kuhn was the Laurence Rockefeller Professor Emeritus of linguistics and philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His books include 'The Essential TensionBlack-Body Theory and the ' 'Quantum Discontinuity, 1894-1912;' and 'The Copernican ' 'Revolution.'

This new edition of this classic incorporates the most recent thinking on methodology and software, as well as the latest literature on multilevel statistical models. Topics covered by multilevel models have increased in recent years, and the methods are widely applied in the social sciences as well as in areas such as epidemiology, geography, education, surveys, and medicine. This third edition includes chapters on meta analysis, factor analysis and structural equation models, and has expanded sections on MCMC methods.
