Excellent guide to literature review section of undergrad and Masters dissertations, which is recommended to dissertation students and on the bibliography for both modules. Some useful supplemental info (e.g. about relative merits of use of citations in sentences or in brackets etc)
the module is about literature review so will be good to include in reading lists
This is a excellent guide for postgraduate students especially for Masters and Doctoral students. Easy-to-read publication with applicable examples. Well and learly explanations to follow for postgraduate students. A must for supervisors and promoters of students.
Helpful text for undergraduates learning research skills.
This book provides a comprehensive description of different types and aims of a literature review. Many students think of the literature review as a mere list of all published papers; I believe this book will help them focusing their thoughts and writing (thus saving them time).
This is a very clear book which is suitable for masters and other research levels
Brilliant resource for 3rd year students undertaking their dissertations. I will be recommending that students buy this book.
An excellent, well structured guide to the literature review with useful examples integrated throughout.
Easy to follow step by step guide on how to conduct a literature review.
Would recommend this book
There is a real need for a book like this as it is something students often find challenging, being unsure of the best way to approach their review of the literature.
