Nursing Times Research
...An immensely useful resource.

As a graduate research student, I have come across a number of books claiming to informe the reader 'how to research,' and have become sceptical...This book challenges that scepticism and is to be warmly welcomed.
British Journal of Educational Technology
...An excellent choice for any student about to start a research project for the first time.
