The Foundations of Research Reviews

Provides a clear and practical guide to the tools and terminology of research which will be invaluable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students. * Wyn Grant, University of Warwick, UK *
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. * Rob Ackrill, Nottingham Trent University, UK *
There is no other book which provides students with such a student-friendly guide to the building blocks of contemporary research. * Andrew Holmes, University of Hull, UK *
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. * B. G. Turner, Choice, Vol. 56 (9) *
