Praise for the first edition:

"...an excellent choice for any student about to start a research project for the first time."
British Journal of Educational Technology

Praise for the second edition:

"How to Research is best used as a reference tool to dip in and out of when required. Not only is it an excellent starting point for new researchers and students, but undoubtedly the more experienced researcher will also find it valuable. Furthermore, those involved in teaching research methods or supervising research students would find this a useful source of information, exercises and ideas."
SRA News
