Recenzijas

"If I had known about this book when I began working on my dissertation, it would have saved me at least a full year and much, much consternation! The clarity and organization with which this book is written make it a tremendous and exceptionally user-friendly asset to anyone who is serious about presenting clear, well thought-out research." -- Dr. Cindy Wilson, Associate Professor and Department Chair "This is the one book a graduate level student in education will be able to use from cover to cover. It provides the perfect roadmap for the successful completion of an outstanding literature review. It should be a required text for all students attempting to complete a literature review." -- Dr. Cathy Patterson, Elementary Educator 5th Grade "The Literature Review: Six Steps to Success is a must-have for both novice and experienced researchers. The authors provide a roadmap as researchers journey from inquiry to argument for advocacy. If a strong literature review is the foundation for a successful thesis or dissertation, Machi and McEvoy offer the building blocks for that foundation." -- Louanne Jacobs, Associate Professor of Education, Department Chairperson "This book provides invaluable support for graduate students in writing a literature review. The authors provide a clear, straightforward model for taking a researchable idea and transforming it into a research study. I have already recommended this text to all of my doctoral students!" -- Dr. Sara McNeil, Associate Professor, College of Education "Every graduate student would benefit from reading this text on how to do a literature review and working through the questions to refine their own work.
