The importance of scientific investigation and research is becoming
more pronounced in today's society, with many organizations relying
on this research to make informed decisions. As such, research
methodology courses have been integrated into undergraduate and
master's programs at most academic institutions where students are
being challenged to conduct and write research. Social Research
Methodology and New Techniques in Analysis, Interpretation, and
Writing is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research
on the main concepts of research writing, including the guidelines
of research methodology and proposal designing. While highlighting
topics such as mixed method research, research objectives, and
project proposals, this publication provides examples of eight PhD
proposals and the frameworks used in organizing qualitative,
quantitative, and mixed method research. This book is ideally
designed for graduate-level students, academicians, researchers,
educators, scholars, education administrators, and policymakers
seeking current research on the key steps and techniques used in
organizing social research proposals.
A field guide to the trade and art of editing, this book pulls back
the curtain on the day-to-day responsibilities of a literary
magazine editor in their role, and to the specific skills necessary
to read, mark-up and transform a piece of writing. Combining a
break-down of an editor's tasks - including creating a vision,
acquisitions, responding to submissions and corresponding with
authors - with a behind-the-scenes look at manuscripts in progress,
the book rounds up with a test editing section that teaches, by way
of engaging exercises, the nitty-gritty strategies and techniques
for working on all kinds of texts. Generous in its insight and
access to practicing editors' annotations and thought processes,
The Invisible Art of Literary Editing offers an exclusive look at
nonfiction, fiction and poetry manuscripts as they were first
submitted, as they were marked up by an editor and how the final
piece was presented before featuring an interview with the editor
on the choices they made about that piece of work, as well as their
philosophies and working practices in their job. As a skill and a
trade learnt through practice and apprenticeship, this is the
ultimate companion to editing any piece of work, offering
opportunities for learning-by-doing through exercises, reflections
and cases studies, and inviting readers to embody the role of an
editor to improve their craft and demystify the processes involved
in this exciting and highly coveted profession.
