English for Writing Research Papers
Publishing your research in an international journal is key
to your success in academia. This guide is based on a
study of referees' reports and letters from journal editors
on reasons why papers written by non-native researchers
are rejected due to problems with English usage. It draws
on English-related errors from around 5000 papers
written by non-native authors, 500 abstracts by PhD
students, and over 1000 hours of teaching researchers
how to write and present research papers.
Mapping Your Thesis
The book offers a complex cognitive mapping process to
raise awareness of the critical choices involved in
research and thesis writing for both masters and
doctorates.
Research Methods for Business and Social
Science Students
The book aims to present a clear discussion of the
research methods employed in various disciplines
related to our daily life problems. Collecting data is a key
part of the book and this includes both qualitative and
quantitative methods of data collection and the
advantages and disadvantages of each method. It also
describes how students can analyse data, interpret
results and link these to the literature review and hence
their own contribution.
Research Methods in Intercultural
Communication
The book introduces and contextualizes the most
important methodological issues in the field for upper-
level undergraduate and graduate students. Examples of
these issues are which paradigms and how to research
multilingually, interculturally, and ethnically.
