"Preface This book is a practical guide for doing research written for beginning researchers. You might be a doctoral student just learning how to conduct research. Or, you might be a new faculty member, having recently graduated from a doctoral program and looking forward to conducting research as part of your job. Or, you might be a postdoctoral fellow pursuing a new research agenda. Although the target audience is beginning researchers, we believe more experienced researchers will find something useful as well. Indeed, we were surprised by how much we learned writing this book. As we were searching for ways to present the ideas, we realized that many of the concepts and procedures we describe are less about learning a set of rules and more about reasoning through a complicated but logical process. And getting better at reasoning is a lifelong journey. So, if you are a beginning researcher or someone more experienced, we hope you will learn something new and reflect on your own reasoning about the research process. (...)" Newark, DE, USA.
