Dissertations and Theses From Start to Finish: Psychology and Related Fields, Second Edition aids student writers through all the practical, logistical, and emotional stages of writing dissertations and theses. It offers guidance to students through such important steps as: defining topics; selecting faculty advisers; scheduling time to accommodate the project; and, conducting, analyzing, writing, presenting, and publishing research. Readers will find guiding questions, both mundane and sophisticated, which they may never have considered before, even after coursework in preparation for research writing. Authors have thoroughly updated the text for this new edition to reflect new ethical standards for research, new style manuals, and new texts in statistics, as well as current thinking on behavioral science research. They have also updated the 30+ special elements, adding entirely new checklists, diagrams, and sample parts of research papers. Also new to this edition is up-to-date information on computerized literature searches, writing and statistical software, and use of computers for data and schedule management.

5.0 out of 5 stars très compréhensif et clair
Reviewed in France on 30 August 2017

Je n'ai pas fini à lire tout le livre, mais il contient tout ce qu'on aura besoin de savoir (et qu'on n'a pas forcement envie de demander à ses profs) avant d'entamer un master ou un doctorat. Le livre est divisé en chapitres qui correspondent à une étape dans le processus. Il sera donc sans doute autant pertinent de le lire avant de commencer que quand on a commencé à écrire.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent resource for anyone considering pursuing a graduate degree in the field of psychology ...

No doubt when you first enter graduate school you are excited, but the excitement soon wears off when you find yourself overwhelmed by the amount of work your dissertation or thesis has in store for you. Your approach and methodology to your topic is laid out for you in a simple "start to finish" way in this book. The text is quite readable and isn't overburdened with polysyllabic words requiring a dictionary. The second edition is up to date and takes into consideration that we are no longer writing our dissertations and theses solely from dusty library stacks. For example information is given as to how to evaluate Internet information and effective ways to Google.

CHAPTERS:

Chapter 1. What Are Theses and Dissertations and Why Write a Book About Them?

Chapter 2. Starting Out: Assessing Your Preparation for the Task Ahead

Chapter 3. Time and Trouble Management

Chapter 4. Finding Topics and Faculty Collaborators

Chapter 5. Formulating and Communicating Your Plans: An Overview of the Proposal

Chapter 6. Reviewing the Literature

Chapter 7. Research Methodology and Ethics

Chapter 8. Measurement

Chapter 9. Selecting the Appropriate Statistics

Chapter 10. Collecting, Managing, and Analyzing the Data

Chapter 11. Presenting the Results

Chapter 12. Discussing the Results

Chapter 13. Managing Committee Meetings: Proposal and Oral Defense

Chapter 14. Presenting Your Project to the World

I'd recommend that when you receive your copy of this book that you take the time to sit down and read it from cover to cover. More than likely you'll be spending a few years working on a project and I feel taking the time to get a general overview of what you will be facing is an excellent investment. One other book you may wish to consider is the "Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association." In the back of the book is an excellent index and an expanded list of references, some of which you may wish to explore. This is an excellent book for anyone who will be working on a dissertation or thesis and comes with a high recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best (if not the best) guides for dissertation success
Reviewed in the United States on 15 February 2019

I'm a dissertation editor, and this is the book I turn to almost every time when the task before me is more along the lines of development than editing. It's also the book I recommend when students come to me at the beginning of the dissertation process. The content is absolutely spot on and very accessible. Cone and Foster tick all the boxes. If you're debating between the various books on this topic, you won't go wrong with this one. Especially suited for, as the cover states, psychology and related fields. If you're a student at the beginning of the dissertation process, read this book. If you're in the middle of the process and stuck, read this book.
