The Craft of Research (Broché)

With more than three-quarters of a million copies sold since its first publication, The Craft of Research has helped generations of researchers at every level learn how to conduct effective and meaningful research. The fourth edition, which has been thoroughly and respectfully revised by Joseph Bizup and William T. FitzGerald, follows the same guiding principle as earlier editions—that the skills of doing and reporting research are not just for elite students but for everyone.
With updated examples and information on evaluating and using contemporary sources, this beloved classic is ready for the next generation of researchers. Changes to this edition include : Extended coverage of new research techniques made possible by online databases and search engines ; Increased discussion of the value of online sources and how to assess the reliability of these sources ; Full revisions and reorganizations of chapters to reflect changing research methods ; Enhanced differentiation of the activities of research, argument, and writing.
