Reviews / Votes
Designing and Managing Your Research Project is rich in content, full of practical information with a simple, easy-to-follow layout [...]the book will be ideal for academic and non-academic researchers, teachers and consultants, among others. The authors' consultative-coaching-advisory and empathy-towards-researchers approaches in discussing the core knowledge in research project management are indeed commendable. Most researchers whilst reflecting on the content will find the book rigorous, relevant, simple and practicalRonald R. Kumar
