Recommended Reading Page
Friday, 25 September 2009 11:16
Academic Consulting is pleased to announce the introduction of a Recommended Reading page. We’re often asked to recommend books relating to research, writing, or research software, so we’ve had a brainstorming session in the office and come up with our favourite twenty-six books. These cover a wide range of areas including qualitative and quantitative research skills and/or data analysis, as well as writing and style guides. Speaking of style guides – there is a new edition of the APA manual (6th) available which is listed on the page.
Clicking on any of the book images will take you through to the Fishpond website, where you will find further details and purchasing information.
If you have any recommendations for books to be included on the page, please do contact us to let us know.
