Product ID: 805833299
Online student resource material cab be accessed under the 'Support Materials' tab at https://www.routledge.com/9780367207939 Doing Academic Research is a concise, accessible, and tightly organized overview of the research process in the humanities, social sciences, and business. Conducting effective scholarly research can seem like a frustrating, confusing, and unpleasant experience. Early researchers often have inconsistent knowledge and experience, and can become overwhelmed – reducing their ability to produce high quality work. Rather than a book about research, this is a practical guide to doing research. It guides budding researchers along the process of developing an effective workflow, where to go for help, and how to actually complete the project. The book addresses diversity in abilities, interest, discipline, and ways of knowing by focusing not just on the process of conducting any one method in detail, but also on the ways in which someone might choose a research method and conduct it successfully. Finally, it emphasizes accessibility and approachability through real-world examples, key insights, tips, and tricks from active researchers. This book is a highly useful addition to both content area courses and research methods courses, as well as a practical guide for graduate students and independent scholars interested in publishing their research. Review: Small useful book - This is a simple and small book, based on personal research experience of the authors. Very good starting point for year 1 PhD students or even MA students. Review: Easy to Read - If you are doing academic research and feels lost, this is a quick read to give you a grasp on how and what needs to be done in academic research.

Excellent Resource
As a candidate for completion of my graduate degree in public policy I found this book to be an excellent resource. I believe that this book would prove useful for anyone just beginning their exploration of academic research or as a refresher for those who have been performing such resources for many years. The authors contribution’s for conducting research in the age of the Internet are especially important. I found it to be very informative and will undoubtedly use it as a valuable reference as I further my own academic research.
