Product Description
Product Description
The ability to carry out research successfully has come to be seen as a "key transferable skill" required of all higher education students - and this book addresses directly the skill element of this. Furthermore the research process, at all levels, is far more systematized than in the past. The single largest change since the second edition came out in 1996 has been the impact of the World Wide Web on student research. This new edition has been thoroughly rewritten and developed in response to this. In particular, Chapter 4, "Literature Searching", is completely new and has been structured around a sample online search. Throughout, the comments and thoughts of readers of previous editions have been taken into account in framing this third edition. Its aims remain the same - to provide a clear, comprehensive and useful guide to students undertaking research projects in order to improve their chances of a successful outcome.

Format:Paperback
Howard has made an excellent attempt to describe and give advice on the process of conducting a research. He classifies research from four different point of views i.e. the field of research, the purpose of research, the approach of research and the nature of research.
Howard then goes on to explain how it is possible to gather and analyse data efficiently, how to deal with unexpected problems, how to write-up a dissertation and present findings in a suitable manner, how to cite references and finally how to collaborate with the research project supervisor effectively throughout the duration of the research.
Moreover, techniques for generating research topics are explained e.g. relevance trees and morphological analysis. There are also many project management illustrations present in the book e.g. PERT diagram, network activity diagram, Gannt chart/bar chart, flowchart.
I highly recommend the book to postgraduate students and academics.
