Reviews

I love the 6 steps plan—it is doable! The structure of this book encourages readers to develop great research habits. The content material is excellently covered. The section on developing an argument is exceedingly strong . . . I loved the AI sections. These are the sections that I will go back to, which is really exciting. I learned so much! -- Neil MacNeill * Scarborough, Western Australia * The book’s organization along the timeline of conducting a literature review is the greatest strength. I like that it follows a logical progression from selecting a topic through the writing of the lit review. The AI sections are one of my favorite parts. They offer clear suggestions for how AI might be incorporated as a research tool. -- Jennifer Shettel * Lititz, Pennsylvania * The structure of the book is very comprehensive. The step-by-step process is clear. The integration of AI in the revised edition and other updates are an added bonus. -- Kristopher Kwiatek * St. Clair Shores, Michigan *
