Book Description

International Journal for Social Science Research and Practice (IJSSRP) is an interdisciplinary peer reviewed journal. The objective of the journal is to serve as a forum for the exhibition and dissemination of scholarly activities in forms of current researches and thoughts on contemporary issues. The scope of IJSSRP is wide and all inclusive as it ranges from issues in the United States to global events and happenings. It welcomes all types of researches ranging from field and experimental to rigorous theoretical explanations. It welcomes empirically based studies and discussions based on abstractions and theoretical understanding. IJSSRP will serve as the forum for the promotion of positive exchange between nomothetic and idiographic traditions in the social sciences. The journal is independent of any particular school of thought and does not lean towards any theoretical perspective or viewpoint. Authors are not limited by their nationality, religion, subject matter or theoretical orientation. The journal is however interested in studies that will promote global unity and understanding towards achieving a peaceful global village, global social harmony and economic growth. It therefore promotes studies that can yield practical solutions to contemporary global social problems.

Book Description

The International Journal of Communication and Social Sciences (IJCSS), an official publication of the Mass Communication Department at Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu, Nigeria, is edited in collaboration with the Dean of Graduate School at Bowie State University, Bowie Maryland, USA. The Journal publishes articles and book reviews that examine a broad range of social sciences, but most importantly, issues relevant to communication theory, research practice, policy and methodological approaches, information communication technology (ICT), development communication paradigms and ethical conducts and standards in journalism and communication. Since the Journal seeks to be a general forum for communication scholarship, internationally published, we are especially interested in research whose significance crosses disciplinary and sub-field boundaries such as the social sciences.

Book Description

Much applied research takes place as if complex social problems--and evaluations of interventions to address them--can be dealt with in a purely technical way. In contrast, this groundbreaking book offers an alternative approach that incorporates sustained, systematic reflection about researchers' values, what values research promotes, how decisions about what to value are made and by whom, and how judging the value of social interventions takes place. The authors offer practical and conceptual guidance to help researchers engage meaningfully with value conflicts and refine their capacity to engage in deliberative argumentation. Pedagogical features include a detailed evaluation case, "Bridge to Practice" exercises and annotated resources in most chapters, and an end-of-book glossary.
