Customer Reviews

Good text and reference5
The book begins at a very elementary level and progresses systematically through topics that are more complex, providing the reader with a good understanding of the principles and practices of research and with tools for analyzing the quality of research. I'm sure I'll be referring to this well-written book for many years to come.

Valuable Research Tool!5
This is an excellent book. It makes studying research very easy to follow and understand. Great resource book! A must-have for any research course on any level (graduate or undergraduate).

Good Basic Reference4
This text is a good basic reference for the beginning nurse researcher. It has very clear explanations of the research process and applies them nicely to the clinical setting.
