[Solved]Choose an exemplar researcher in your field of (doctoral) research and select one of her or his seminal empirical papers. This is likely to be a highly cited research paper and may be co-authored.

Write an individual assignment of a maximum of 4,000 words in two parts each with a maximum of 2,000 words.

Part 1 of the assignment (max 2,000 words): Choose an exemplar researcher in your field of (doctoral) research and select one of her or his seminal empirical papers. This is likely to be a highly cited research paper and may be co-authored. Briefly summarise the paper’s research aims and then discuss in detail the researcher’s underlying philosophical approach towards conducting research in the paper, the associated research methodology and related ethical issues. This part of the assignment will be assessed according to your contribution in the following areas:

Introduction/summary of the paper - this should be brief but should refer to the position of the paper in the related academic literature justifying why it is a seminal paper;

Underlying philosophy of the researcher as embodied in the study (whether explicitly or implicitly) and the advantages and limitations of their approach in relation to the study aims;

Detail relating to the research methodology and the advantages and limitations of the chosen methodology in relation to the research aims of the paper;

Ethical issues related to the research conducted and how they were, or were not addressed;

Concluding discussion, this should be brief and present an assessment of the paper and the approach of the researcher, drawing clear links between philosophy of social research and research methodology in the context of the paper.

Part 2 of the assignment (max 2,000 words): Write a critical and reflective summary of your own developing research perspectives and intended methodology and position in relation to the main philosophical debates around how social science research (or other disciplinary field as appropriate) is conducted. In this part of assignment you need to:

Outline your intended research methodology with reference to the literature.

Provide a rationale for its use linked to the relevant philosophical debates in social science research.

You should also refer to the position of your research in the academic literature in your discipline.

Your discussion in both parts of the assignment must draw on the principles and debates presented in the module.
