Recenzii

Provides a clear and practical guide to the tools and terminology of research which will be invaluable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students.
This excellent book provides a uniquely clear and concise introduction to research - in particular its often confusing terminology. It is also my own go-to reference when I feel I need a refresher on some of the basics.
There is no other book which provides students with such a student-friendly guide to the building blocks of contemporary research.
The two appendixes include a summary of the research process stages and a glossary of research terms. The text is concise . The writing style and degree of difficulty is challenging in some places but appropriate for the target audience. Summing Up: Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty and professionals.
