ABOUT THE LOGO: An explanation of the images
The image used at the top of each page is derived from Stephen Toulmin's representation of 'the layout of arguments'. It is used to emphasise the place of argumment, data collection and inference in the research process.
The diagram is explained in the text at arguments.
