How to Do Your Research Project A Guide for Students

One of the most impressive things that real experts do is to communicate complex ideas in a clear way for their readers. Gary Thomas’ book has been doing this for university students over many years. It is deservedly a classic textbook, which is now in its 4th edition - a further mark of success!
Gary Thomas writes clearly and it is understood by undergraduates - and indeed this book is also useful for post-graduate students. I will certainly recommend this book and I will ask the library to keep several up to date copies too.
Easy to read. Simple structure. Accessible language and very informative. Can guide students through the research process.
Great resources. Comprehensive and easy to follow.
a wonderfully comprehensive resource written in simple and accessible style, particularly helpful to international students. I love the interactivity resources, they add value to my teaching
This appears an excellent book and one I will be suggesting to future students as an easy yet robust text to assist them in their research journey
Thomas provides a clear, comprehensive text that is useful at a range of levels of study.
This is really an amazing book and really easy to follow. Students will love it.
I have used previous editions of this book. and always found it beneficial. Love this updated version. It is easy to use and understand for UG students yet it is still comprehensive.
This is an excellent book and fantastic for doing a research project. The only reason it is not adopted is because for this module the students do a scoping review rather than empirical research.
