How to be a Researcher provides a strategic guide to the conduct of
a successful research career within a university environment. Based
on the author's extensive personal experience, it offers
down-to-earth advice, philosophical guidance, and discussions of
the political context of academic research. This is not a research
methods book, and the topics it covers are rarely discussed
elsewhere. The bulk of the book provides practical advice on the
development of essential skills and strategic approaches, covering
questions such as: how to decide which topics to work on how to
read and review literature how to develop theory how to integrate
research and teaching activity how to approach research design how
to obtain and manage research funding how to collaborate and
supervise effectively how to write up your research, and how to
secure the best sources of publication. The final part of the book
considers the philosophy and psychology of research work and
includes an exploration of the cognitive biases which may affect
researchers. How to be a Researcher will be particularly useful for
masters and doctoral students in the behavioral and social
sciences, and also for early career academics developing research
within a university career.
