Abstract

This series of three books presents an innovative approach to enhancing research relevant not only to the Caribbean and its Diaspora, but to all productive researchers. In ‘Annotated Research,’ authors explain the motivations and methods behind their already published research in a range of different specializations. The series provides an extended repertoire of research methods as a timely conceptual tool for promoting rigorous development of research theory and practice, initially intended for releasing the rich diverse research potential of Caribbean researchers. In this book, authors of peer-reviewed publications on Caribbean Research explain their research methods. Through annotations of their research they give practical and theoretical insights on the advantages and disadvantages of the methods they have used. The series provides a platform for teaching, discussing and doing research, which we intend as a foundation for future developments in research methods. This first book of the series annotates Quantitative research methods.
