Objective: The present article is a critique of the book “Research Methods in Psychology and Educational Sciences” authored by Ali Delavar and published by Nashr-e Virayesh in 2024. This book serves as a university-level textbook for undergraduate studies and as a reference for national graduate entrance examinations (Master's and PhD).

Method: This study was conducted using a qualitative approach and employed a descriptive–critical content analysis method. Data was analyzed inductively through open, axial, and selective coding, leading to the extraction of categories and overarching themes.

Discussion and Conclusion: It demonstrates several strengths, such as the use of instructional examples to clarify methodological concepts, relatively clear prose in some sections, and the inclusion of conventional textbook elements such as chapter objectives, summaries, and self-assessment questions. However, the findings of the content analysis reveal numerous issues related to structure, content, writing, and referencing. Content-related problems include inaccurate examples, unclear sentences, contradictory statements, and incomplete material. Structural issues involve the absence of a comprehensive overview, improper segmentation, and a lack of coherence in the organization of topics. Writing deficiencies, such as incorrect use of conjunctions, flawed and incomplete sentence construction, and typographical errors, further diminish the overall quality of the work. In addition, referencing and citation problems, including incomplete references and failure to adhere to academic standards, constitute serious shortcomings. To improve the quality of the book, a comprehensive and substantive revision addressing content, approach, structure, writing, and referencing is recommended.
