Review:
"...an immensely useful resource." - Nursing Times Research "As a graduate research student, I have come across a number of books claiming to inform the reader 'how to research', and have become sceptical...This book challenges that scepticism and is to be warmly welcomed." - Research Policy and Planning." "...an excellent choice for any student about to start a research project for the first time." - British Journal of Educational Technology
