From The Critics

Arguing that the elements of experiment design and reporting are inextricably linked, Harris (psychology, U. of Sheffield, UK) presents an introductory textbook on experimental design and reporting in psychology. First he presents information on writing reports, with separate chapters for each of a report's principle sections. The chapters on design discuss basic issues, significance testing in statistics, and effect size and power in statistics. The book is distributed in the US by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c.
