Addressing methodological concerns as well as the writing itself, this guide outlines the quantitative research process. It provides instruction for framing analytic questions, developing a comprehensive outline, providing direction for the reader, and using computer and program tools. The guide identifies the characteristics of successful quantitative research writing, explains each stage of the process, and discusses the ethical questions that arise. Garson teaches political science at North Carolina State University at Raleigh. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
