{"product_id":"9789768125903","title":"Research: The Journey from Pondering to Publishing","description":"Despite having a workforce consisting of highly qualified staff, some universities do not have high levels of research productivity and lack a research culture. The possible reasons for research-inactive staff may be due to a lack of mentoring for Anew@ members of staff in terms of research proposal preparations, viable research strategies, ongoing research supervision as well as finding and targeting funding agencies.This book has been divided into three sections: the first defines and characterizes research, with chapters identifying strategies for research and pinpointing ethical issues; the second section discusses in detail developing the research proposal, formulating the research problem, using statistics effectively and evaluating the successful research project; and the final section addresses ways to write the research results in such a way as to secure funding and publish in peer-reviewed journals. It contains useful checklists, activities and practical suggestions to facilitate research productivity and output.The work is of interest to graduate students, junior-level faculty, and university administrators committed to increasing research productivity and global research funding and rankings.","brand":"UWI Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47065305972976,"sku":"9789768125903","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789768125903_p0.jpg?v=1763688400","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789768125903","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
