Synopsis:

This book covers the steps necessary to plan and undertake a research project and will use clear examples to illustrate what at times are difficult concepts. The chapters include: Making a start - The Researchers view of The World; Research Paradigms - Putting It Down On Paper; How to Search Databases - Sampling, Reliability and Validity; Presenting your research and speaking to others; Research ethics; and Carrying out qualitative research.

Review: 'Having already purchased a couple of Porter's books in the past I knew this would be another 'must have'. it describes the research process from start to finish in a simple but informative way, with some of Porters humour added in along the way! Easy language is used throughout, so you do not have to read each chapter 3 times before understanding it. I would say this is an essential book to have, especially for any healthcare students, who are learning about, planning or undertaking research.'
