Praise for this book:
"The authors have achieved an extensive presentation of information on
each phase of a research project, from the development of the project idea to
submission of the project for publication, and all aspects in between. The text
is well-written and the supplemental materials complement the text well.
Overall, after reading this book, students and beginning researchers will find
themselves highly prepared for their upcoming research project, including those
elements they may not have previously anticipated." -- Elizabeth M.
