Product Description
Product Description
Undertaking a PhD and completing the task can be daunting. Yet one is being asked for an incremental increase rather than a paradigm shift in knowledge. This book seeks to place research methods within the context of the research process as a whole from an initial consideration of the nature of the research to the final submission of the thesis. Chapters cover: planning and organising a thesis, constructing and interpreting qualitative data; analysing qualitative data; writing legal and ethical issues; the submission; the viva and publishing. Your PhD thesis constitutes not only an accessible introduction to the task but a source of reference which can usefully be kept to hand during the field research and the process of writing up. This book explains: the nature of research; types of research; the research question; Feasibility; The research proposal; planning and organising

This textbook helped me from start to finish with my PhD thesis, including the Viva part of the process. I used it as a paint-by-numbers guide to make my work a readable and successful thesis. The examples are excellent and you can easily follow these, using your own work, to write each chapter. It gave me a great idea for a conceptual background chapter, which was commented on by my examiners as being a particularly useful chapter. I seriously could not have done it without this book. Unlike some books on the market, you can tell that it is written by someone who has seen many, many theses and knows a thing or two about how to get them wrong...and also how to get them right! Thank you Brewer et al!!

Great for planning a PhD pre-enrolment. The lit review section is a little sparse, but the pragmatics are all good. Excellent section on research paradigm, through which to approach work. Useful but no substitute for real-life discussion.
