Writing the Research Paper: Pocket GuideThe rationale behind Writing the Research Paper--Pocket Guide, is essentially a simple one: the typical student reaches college having written perhaps a dozen research papers and is familiar enough with the broad convention of the form to neither need nor want a big book on the research paper. Instead, what the student needs is a handy summary of research paper protocol that can be easily consulted. All its explanations should be brief, helpful, and to the point. Its examples should be pointed and illustrative, covering major matters rather than minor ones. That, in a nutshell, is the idea behind this book. |
