social media sites, such as Survey Monkey and Google Forms. *
Further coverage on how to protect research participants, including

settings. * More detailed coverage of how to conduct effective
online literature searches, not only using Google but also other

on your research journey. This practical, no-nonsense guide is
vital reading for all those embarking on undergraduate or
postgraduate study, irrespective of discipline, and for
professionals in such fields as social science, education and
health. 'The latest edition provides extensive coverage of all that
a research student might need to know. The expanse of the topics
covered enables this book to be indispensable to a great range of
students, not only at different levels of study but also in a
variety of disciplines. Bell and Waters present an honest and
practical look at a daunting academic undertaking and provide the
student with a resource that is currently has no parallel. This new
edition brings the text up to date with a look at some of the more
creative approaches the research project might take and challenges
students to think before making research decisions.' Dr Susan
