"Describes the quantitative research process--framing analytical questions, developing a comprehensive outline, providing a roadmap for the reader, and accessing indispensable computer and program tools. Supplies end-of-chapter checklists, extensive examples, and biobliographies."

Bridging the divide between books on thesis and dissertation writing and those on methodology, this unique text explores the quantitative research process. Framing analytical questions, developing a comprehensive outline, it provides a roadmap for the reader, and accessing indispensable computer and program tools. It supplies end-of-chapter checklists, extensive examples, bibliographies, helpful references, drawings, photographs, and tables and includes step-by-step guidelines from inception, research meta-analysis, and literature review development to presentation and working with thesis and dissertation committees.
