Description
This unique resource provides valuable assistance to those writing and publishing nursing research. Rather than emphasizing how to conduct
research, this reference assists in the writing task itself – identifying the principles of writing and the commonly used methodologies
of health care research. The writing process, as it applies to research, is examined and techniques for writing are discussed in detail.
Practical hints and helpful suggestions are included throughout the text, with examples where appropriate. In addition, the book discusses
the similarities and differences between the forms of written research – specifically journal articles, theses, conference papers, and
research reports.
Audience
The book will be of primary interest to all health professionals engaged in health research either as researchers or in teaching or reviewing
roles. The book will be of specific interest to those who:
- undertake research, whether at under graduate, post graduate or higher
degree levels;
- teach research whether at under graduate, post graduate or higher degree levels;
- review research whether
as journal articles, grant applications or research proposals; examine dissertations/theses whether at graduate or postgraduate levels.
