Product description

Review

'The main strength lies in the book's practical nature. The authors place great emphasis on the importance of proper searching techniques and encourage the use of specialist librarians. Chapters on reading and note-taking skills contain useful detail often missing from similar books - such as which bits of an article to read first, and how to make and store relevant notes that will be usable later. The examples of how to improve specific passages of writing are very valuable.'-- (10/30/2013)

'Tasks, tips, examples, figures and summaries in each chapter give the book a "self-guided" feel appropriate in a textbook, and the language is rarely arcane. Four useful appendices and a fine index complete the work. Overall, this is a sound guide for the absolute neophyte in how to create useable literature reviews. Part 2 is especially recommended as a good discussion of the ways and means of writing reviews. The work is useful for students at most levels, and for those who teach research methods and want a clear guide for literature reviews for their reading lists' -
 G. E. Gorman
Online Information Review

The book does what it promises: it is an accessible and practical book, which many researchers can benefit from to improve their literature reviews.--Willemijn Krebbekx, Universiteit van Amsterdam

I had struggled with my literature review, especially in convincing my committee that the approach I had used qualified to be called a "systematic review". This book helped me support my arguments and in fact it has been recommended to all the PhD students in the cohorts behind mine, many of whom are just now getting to the point of starting their literature review. I also would recommend Systematic Approaches to a Successful Literature Review by Booth.
