Reviews for The Literature Review: A Step-by-Step Guide for Students

'The Literature Review is a clearly written and easily accessible self-guided introduction packed with detailed examples. It's especially useful for budding researchers unfamiliar with crafting literature reviews that support strong theory development and empirical testing. I recommend it to every first-year doctoral student' - Michael R. HymanDistinguished Achievement Professor, New Mexico State University
