Writing a Research Paper in Political Science - International Student Edition - A Practical Guide to Inquiry, Structure, and... Writing a Research Paper in Political Science - International Student Edition - A Practical Guide to Inquiry, Structure, and Methods (Paperback, 4th Revised edition)
Lisa A. Baglione
R1,166 Discovery Miles 11 660 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Even students capable of writing excellent essays still find their first major political science research paper an intimidating experience. Crafting the right research question, finding good sources, properly summarizing them, operationalizing concepts and designing good tests for their hypotheses, presenting and analyzing quantitative as well as qualitative data are all tough-going without a great deal of guidance and encouragement. Writing a Research Paper in Political Science breaks down the research paper into its constituent parts and shows students what they need to do at each stage to successfully complete each component until the paper is finished. Practical summaries, recipes for success, worksheets, exercises, and a series of handy checklists make this a must-have supplement for any writing-intensive political science course. New to the Fourth Edition: A non-causal research paper woven throughout the text offers explicit advice to guide students through the research and writing process. Updated and more detailed discussions of plagiarism, paraphrases, "drop-ins," and "transcripts" help to prevent students from misusing sources in a constantly changing digital age. A more detailed discussion of "fake news" and disinformation shows students how to evaluate and choose high quality sources, as well as how to protect oneself from being fooled by bad sources. Additional guidance for writing abstracts and creating presentations helps students to understand the logic behind abstracts and prepares students for presentations in the classroom, at a conference, and beyond. A greater emphasis on the value of qualitative research provides students with additional instruction on how to do it.

Thoroughly updated to discuss the use of tools such as Skype and social media, this concise volume shows how effective communication-via written text and spoken presentations-can positively impact project management in professional environments. Professional communications are the "information product" of all organizations and businesses. Based on that premise, this book offers communications strategies that will benefit any organization that disseminates technical information in-house and/or to customers. The popular work provides easy-to-understand and apply guidelines for designing and writing effective technical documents, as well as other related communications. What makes this new edition especially valuable is that it maintains the quality of information that distinguished the previous editions, but is now updated to encompass current technology and trends, including today's prevalent communication tools such as social media. The book begins by looking at skills common to all technical writing and offering general advice on designing and writing reports. Next is a discussion of specific types of reports along with common problems and issues writers face. Finally, the work overviews other forms of communications such as professional presentations. The updated material also considers the growing importance of interviews and focus groups as information-gathering tools, the influence of visual rhetoric, and the use of technologies such as Skype and webinars. Maintains the quality of information that has made this text a longtime favorite while featuring significant updates to encompass current technology Provides readers with clear guidelines for designing and writing a wide range of professional documents and associated communications Offers effective strategies for solving communications problems Includes primary source documents that illustrate the advice given

Joseph E. Harmon
R1,022 Discovery Miles 10 220 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The ability to communicate in print and person is essential to the life of a successful scientist. But since writing is often secondary in scientific education and teaching, there remains a significant need for guides that teach scientists how best to convey their research to general and professional audiences. "The Craft of Scientific Communication "will teach science students and scientists alike how to improve the clarity, cogency, and communicative power of their words and images.

In this remarkable guide, Joseph E. Harmon and Alan G. Gross have combined their many years of experience in the art of science writing to analyze published examples of how the best scientists communicate. Organized topically with information on the structural elements and the style of scientific communications, each chapter draws on models of past successes and failures to show students and practitioners how best to negotiate the world of print, online publication, and oral presentation.

Selbst die besten Informationen sind wertlos, wenn Benutzer sie nicht finden. Eine benutzerfreundliche Struktur und Navigation zu schaffen, ist mindestens ebenso wichtig, wie gut geschriebene Inhalte. Allerdings ist die Strukturierung einer Technischen Dokumentation nicht so einfach, wie es auf den ersten Blick erscheint: Wenn Sie denken, dass die Struktur Ihres Dokuments der Struktur der Komponenten und Funktionen Ihres Produkts folgen sollte, liegen Sie falsch. Wenn Sie denken, dass die Dokumentform, die Sie selbst bevorzugen, auch das ist, was Ihre Kunden bevorzugen, liegen Sie falsch. Wenn Sie denken, dass alle Ihre Informationen wichtig sind, liegen Sie auch falsch. Dieses Buch zeigt Ihnen, wie Sie Ihre Dokumente so strukturieren, indexieren und verlinken, dass Leser die enthaltenen Informationen auch tats chlich finden.

sthetik ist nicht das Einzige, was Sie beim Erstellen einer Formatvorlage anstreben sollten. In Technischer Dokumentation, wie Benutzerhandb chern und Online-Hilfen, sind Usability," Lesbarkeit und Einfachheit mindestens ebenso wichtig. Das Design soll das Auge des Betrachters erfreuen, gleichzeitig muss es die Inhalte klar und bersichtlich kommunizieren. Absatzformate und Zeichenformate sollten beim Schreiben des Dokuments einfach zu handhaben sein. Der Layout-Prozess sollte so weit wie m glich automatisiert werden. Da Technische Dokumentation in der Regel h ufig aktualisiert wird, ist ein automatisierter Layout-Prozess hier wesentlich wichtiger als in anderen Buchtypen. Wenn Sie z. B. einen neuen Absatz in ein Dokument einf gen, darf dies nicht dazu f hren, dass Sie alle nachfolgenden Seitenwechsel von Hand neu optimieren m ssen - ganz zu schweigen von Seitenzahlen, Querverweisen, dem Inhaltsverzeichnis und dem Index. Absatzformate und Zeichenformate zu definieren, die beim Erstellen und Pflegen eines Dokuments effizient anwendbar sind, erfordert viel Erfahrung als Technischer Redakteur. Die in diesem Buch gegebenen Empfehlungen sind die Essenz dieser Erfahrung. Alle Kapitel enthalten zahlreiche Beispiele, die Sie als Inspiration und Ausgangspunkt f r Ihre eigenen Designs nutzen k nnen. Diese Ausgabe des Buchs ist zweisprachig: Englisch + Deutsch. Alle global relevanten Themen werden in englischer Sprache behandelt. Themen und Hinweise, die speziell die deutsche Sprache und Dokumente f r den deutschen Sprachraum betreffen, sind in deutscher Sprache beschrieben.

Eine Technische Dokumentation zu bersetzen, unterscheidet sich grundlegend vom bersetzen anderer Textsorten. Wenn Sie ein Benutzerhandbuch oder eine Online-Hilfe in derselben Art und Weise bersetzen, wie Sie dies von anderen Dokumenttypen gewohnt sind, werden Ihre Auftraggeber (meist Technische Redakteure) von den Ergebnissen wenig begeistert sein.

The Chicago Guide to Writing About Multivariate Analysis (Hardcover): Jane E. Miller The Chicago Guide to Writing About Multivariate Analysis (Hardcover)
Jane E. Miller
R2,163 Discovery Miles 21 630 Out of stock

Writing about multivariate analysis is a surprisingly common task. Researchers use these advanced statistical techniques to examine relationships among multiple variables, such as exercise, diet, and heart disease, or to forecast information such as future interest rates or unemployment. Many different people, from social scientists to government agencies to business professionals, depend on the results of multivariate models to inform their decisions. At the same time, many researchers have trouble communicating the purpose and findings of these models. Too often, explanations become bogged down in statistical jargon and technical details, and audiences are left struggling to make sense of both the numbers and their interpretation.
Here, Jane Miller offers much-needed help to academic researchers as well as to analysts who write for general audiences." The Chicago Guide to Writing about Multivariate Analysis" brings together advanced statistical methods with good expository writing. Starting with twelve core principles for writing about numbers, Miller goes on to discuss how to use tables, charts, examples, and analogies to write a clear, compelling argument using multivariate results as evidence.
Writers will repeatedly look to this book for guidance on how to express their ideas in scientific papers, grant proposals, speeches, issue briefs, chartbooks, posters, and other documents. Communicating with multivariate models need never appear so complicated again.
