This objective is completed masterfully, and makes what is in hindsight to be a frustrating and tedious task a little bit more simple. For example: Chapter 5 gives easy to understand guidelines on how to fully analyze the articles a student chooses to review for adding into their literature reviews. Chapters 6 and 7 provide easy to understand guidelines for analyzing and reading quantitative 6 and qualitative 7 articles. It is very important students understand how and why there is a difference. Part 3 of the book gives steps and guidelines on putting together a draft literature review. Another major positive the authors did was being bluntly honest. They inform the student that they will get drafts returned to them for both revision and re-write. They tell the students that's part of the process of writing a literature review and it's going to happen, no escape.
I think that's a good thing to tell students. So, they will not have the mindset of thinking their literature review will be done and over with on first submission. Part 4 ends the book on providing steps and guidelines on best approaches to editing drafts when they get returned to the student. I think that was a brilliant set of chapters to end the book with. Again, students must understand that writing a literature review will always involve editing and re-writing. Best of all, I think providing sample literature reviews in the back of the book is a great source for students to have as they encounter their time to write one.
The criticisms are short: I think there are too many steps and guidelines in the chapters. I think those suggestions can be significantly condensed. Having too many steps and guidelines could not only confuse the novice writer, but also unintentionally overwhelm students. I felt a sense of feeling overwhelmed with so many steps and guidelines just reviewing it as a professor. The suggestions on constructing definition tables, methods tables, and summarized result tables while are excellent suggestions on becoming well versed on a topic, many students, specifically undergraduate students likely will not have the time to adopt those suggestions. I believe the authors do recognize this to my recollection, so this criticism is not a bad one.
Such suggestions in my view are absolutely perfect and should be adopted when writing a thesis or dissertation. Lastly, there are typos in this text. Spacing issues and misspellings. If an eighth edition is published, those issues must be addressed. Those working on publishing research can benefit from this text as well. If I decide to use this the next time I teach research methods, I will for sure have them get this book and incorporate some of the chapters. Way cheaper than buying new and I prefer having a book over a digital copy. Thank you!! I wanted an additional literature review book to add to my library while doing my doctorate degree. This book is excellent. This book is written mostly in conversational tone easy to understand. Other academic books seem to be dry and boring and written in "academic" language and not all that easy to access in terms of understanding the content.
Not this book. It inspired me to write and research and was more of a guide and mentor. One person found this helpful. A required textbook for my doctorate program. An easy read. This is a great book to have on hand for college students. This is an excellent book for those just stating writing literature reviews or needing improvement. It never ceases to amaze me how hard it is to find a good simple resource to help a person get better at various kinds of academic writing given how much of it you end up doing in such a wide variety of degrees. With a full load of classes each with their own mountains of textbooks it is not very helpful when a teacher refers me to a foot-thick book on APA style and expects that to help me get my paper written by next week. I love how this book breaks the process down into manageable steps and provides examples to look at.

I bought this book, and wanted to read through it as a possible new course resource the next time I teach the class. I have both positives and criticisms regarding this book. Positives: Very straight forward and easy to read. My students learn week 1 about the importance of knowing the difference between those types of reports and which are more reliable than others.
Chapter 1 also does a great job breaking the specific parts of an empirical research report. This is significantly important for students to learn immediately. Then, Chapter 1 gives attention to the different writing voices between doing a literature review for a college course, thesis, dissertation, and publishing empirical reports. Chapter 1 by far was my favorite chapter. Students will benefit greatly from chapter 1. Strategies for using electronic databases are in my speculation automatically instructed in many colleges now. With that said, the suggestions are still good. Many students will not be familiar with the tricks boolean markers can provide on results.
So the advice in chapter 2 is still worth reviewing even if it's information most likely the student will already know. Also, chapter 2 is the beginning of the flow that will continue throughout the entire book: A set of "steps" and "guidelines". The positive about the steps and guidelines in the rest of the book is they are easy to follow, and perfectly align with the goal of the book "being a guide". This objective is completed masterfully, and makes what is in hindsight to be a frustrating and tedious task a little bit more simple. For example: Chapter 5 gives easy to understand guidelines on how to fully analyze the articles a student chooses to review for adding into their literature reviews.
