Arvustused

"The text provides a thorough and comprehensive overview of the literature review process. I am particularly pleased that the text provides a detailed discussion of how best to choose online databases and provides specific strategies for obtaining optimal search results through the use of Boolean operators." 





    JaMuir M. Robinson, Walden University -- JaMuir M. Robinson "The book is an in depth discussion of the literature review journey, highlighting many issues and pitfalls which could hinder the successful completion. The reader is guided through the journey with realistic advice and an explanation of key terms to ensure a successful search that is productive, fruitful and reliable."





    Suzanne Sinclair, University Centre at Blackburn College -- Suzanne Sinclair "I think this text presents the goals/reasons, thought-process, and practical steps involved in writing literature reviews in a much more logical and approachable (readable) manner than many I have seen."



Julia L. Sloan, Cazenovia College -- Julia L. Sloan "The material is an exemplary mix of explication and illustrations of the steps in finding, reviewing, and evaluating the research for a literature review."



Walter J. Ullrich, California State University, Fresno -- Walter J. Ullrich
