“I have been drawing upon Rowena’s work and this book specifically for many years now, both in my own thesis writing as well as with the students I now support. This is a fantastic and most welcome resource as the new chapters on AI and neurodiversity, as well as further developments and resources on other sections bring it right up to date. Not only is it a very informative and useful resource, it also provides lots of excellent tasks and tools to employ that are a significant benefit to the writing processes at this level.” Joseph Allison, Lecturer in Clinical Education and Visiting Specialist, Plymouth Peninsula Medical School, UK “A must read for students and supervisors alike! This book has become a brilliant companion to navigating the complexities of academic writing. Writing my own thesis often felt like climbing a mountain, but Rowena’s book became my map. Packed with practical advice, support, and confidence-building strategies, it helped me reach the summit!” Michelle Smith, Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology, University of Stirling, UK “The first edition of How to Write a Thesis was essential in my own PhD journey, providing a comprehensive oversight of thesis requirements that demystified the complex process of academic writing. Twenty years later, the latest iteration of the book remains vital reading. A must-buy book for PhD students.” Martin A Sharp, Director of Postgraduate Research, Edinburgh Napier University, UK This fully updated edition of the classic guide to thesis writing will help you to write your thesis and make the most of the experience. It will also be useful for supervisors who want to help students develop their writing skills and strategies. This book breaks the writing of a thesis down into manageable tasks, offering routines for productive writing and drawing on research in different fields to help you discover the strategies that work best for you. Arguing that social writing activities such as writing retreats are key to getting started and staying motivated, this book will equip you to write regularly, maintain your confidence as you write and revise, respond to feedback, and create a community of writers as you go.

eBook: Business Research Methods 5e
This book is a one stop guide to all your research methods needs. It is tailored specifically towards business and management courses, and central to this edition is the balanced coverage of qualitative and quantitative methods to clearly and concisely lead students through the research process, whatever their project may be. Now in its much anticipated fifth edition, Business Research Methods has been revised and updated to reflect all the latest trends in research methodology. The integration of statistical issues, as well as coverage of web-based surveys, qualitative interviews, big data, and content analysis of social media, aims to support the current student experience. A Running Case Study charts the progression of two student research projects - one qualitative and one quantitative - and shows how the content of each chapter can be used to develop their projects. Thought provoking questions are included to help students consider the issues and decisions involved, and how these might be applied to their own project. Deeper Insight into Research Methods boxes delve further into particular research issues, offering a detailed description to increase understanding of these areas, whilst Real Life examples put research methods into context, by showing how they have been applied in real world situations. New pedagogy features include: Research in Practice boxes provide an insight into situations and research decisions that students may encounter in real life projects. They contain hints, tips and sometimes questions to help think through a project. Theory Explained highlights key theories and demonstrates how these can be applied in practical research examples. Statistics in Action provides practical alternatives to qualitative research methods and gives examples of how statistical data can be presented, analyzed and interpreted to improve students data insights skills. The Online Learning Centre contains a vast amount of extra resources to support lecturers and student, including power points, instructor manuals, and a question bank. New to this edition are short case studies with teaching notes covering current topics and key theories, and worked examples and videos with associated questions for further practical exercises and real world examples.
