"Classed with scientific research handbooks, Fink′s work provides examples of designs and analytical concepts from medical, educational, psychosocial, and business domains. She laudably holds qualitative and observational research designs to the same standards of reliability and validity as experimental research." -- P.E. Sandstrom * CHOICE *
"This book is a textbook with apparatus: opening summaries of the each chapter ("A reader′s guide") exercises with suggested answers, and references cited in each chapter. But this book is much more than a how-to for students to learn how to design and write literature reviews. Fink devotes considerably space to the always tricky question of how to evaluate the actual articles you select to review." -- Tom Warren * Journal of the Society for Technical Communication *
