'An accessible introductory book containing helpful examples and discussion tasks. Focusing on pertinent issues associated with research projects, this volume will help raise students' awareness of academic norms and expectations across disciplines and departments.' Nigel Harwood, University of Sheffield, UK 'Doing an independent research project for the first time involves a steep learning curve.
