Your Research Project Reviews

I can heartily recommend the third edition of this popular text. It has been up-dated and enhanced to recognise the needs of both undergraduate and postgraduate students who are new to the research process, and deserves to be on every reading list
Graham Stew
Principal Lecturer in Health, University of Brighton

This book is a must have for anyone embarking on a research project. It guides the reader through each step of the research project, providing clear summary boxes and exercises, making it particularly relevant for students and lecturers alike
Kalwant Bhopal
Head of the Social Justice and Inclusive Education Research Centre, University of Southampton

Having run a PhD programme (comprising over 40 students) for six years and supervised 16 research students, nine to completion, I feel qualified to testify to the value of this book. Learning has become increasingly structured in the last two decades and new research students are often overwhelmed by the demands of PhD study, which requires conceptual thinking, independence, self-motivation and creativity. In my view, this unique publication offers an excellent and indispensable guide to research for first-timers. I wholeheartedly recommend it
Elizabeth Burton
Professor of Sustainable Building, Design and Wellbeing, University of Warwick

The third edition of Wallimans guide for novice researchers has been thoroughly updated to reflect methodological developments. It retains the unique characteristics which made earlier versions so successful: a theoretically-informed introduction to the research process grounded in an understanding of how individuals learn most effectively
