Doing a Successful Research Project by Martin Brett Davies

Doing a Successful Research Project by Martin Brett Davies

Doing a Successful Research Project is a realistic, unceasingly user-friendly guide on how to conduct a research project that talks at the student's level; akin to having a tutor permanently at one's side. It offers an accessible, even-handed introduction to carrying out research methods for undergraduate and postgraduate students conducting a research project for the first time. The research process - from planning, through design and implementation, to completion - is described simply and succinctly, with the emphasis throughout on good planning. The book provides students with the self-discipline and the confidence to carry out their own research project, as well as enabling them to assess for themselves the advantages and disadvantages of the differing strategies available.

The emphasis is on rigour, but the author is cheerfuly emphatic about keeping life simple.' Sara Perren, Healthcare Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal
