“Research traditions” is a category for books that map, analyze, and compare the major schools of inquiry that guide how knowledge is produced across disciplines. It includes histories and overviews of paradigms (such as positivist, interpretivist, critical, constructivist, post-positivist, and pragmatist), methodological texts rooted in those paradigms (e.g., experimental design, ethnography, grounded theory, phenomenology, historiography), and debates about evidence, validity, ethics, and reflexivity. These works show how traditions emerge and evolve in specific fields (sciences, social sciences, humanities, health), how they shape research questions, designs, and analytic strategies, and how they intersect with cultural and Indigenous approaches. Aimed at students, researchers, and methodologists, the category helps readers understand the assumptions, tools, and implications of different ways of doing research and provides guidance for selecting and justifying a research approach.
