It makes a very daunting task much more manageable and systematic for those who are new to writing literature reviews or who are having trouble getting started and maintaining momentum." -- Andrea M. Capizzi"The authors have provided a primer for planning, creating, developing, and researching literature reviews for new and experienced social scientists." -- Maureen K. Lienau"The third edition of this text is the best guide yet for our dissertation students. The format provides the learner with the framework to think about each step of the literature review process. Candidates will find the graphs and charts most helpful as they conceptualize the process they will be using to think about their topic. This edition uses adult learning theory to keep the candidate focused on the best use of their time while organizing their review. This thorough and practical guide will provide candidates with the scholarly application that they require to think about their research." -- Barbara J. Poling, Interim Dean
