    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This book will walk you through every step of crafting an excellent literature review. It will show you where to find sources, how to assess their quality, and how to combine and integrate these sources into the best possible literature review. From scoping the field to searching the literature to synthesising your findings, this book hits all the spots.


    Presenting a clear and detailed roadmap to ensure you don’t miss a step, the book includes:


    · Advice on the best ways to scan and search the literature.


    · All the latest information and advice on using AI tools for searching literature.


    · Case studies and real-life examples from a range of disciplines so you can learn from other researchers who have been in your shoes.


    · DIY activities so you can practice your skills and get to grips with key concepts.


    · Guidance on how to analyse and synthesise the findings from your literature searches.


    · Advice and guidance on organising your writing.


    For tutors, each chapter is accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation that will map onto a 10 or 11 week module.


    Written in Gary’s signature easy-to-read style, this book is an essential companion for anyone conducting a literature review in the applied social sciences.



    This text puts literature reviews in simplest and most logical order. The students/researchers who are new to research will find the content structured and easy to follow. The author has addressed complex research elements with relevance to literature reviews, providing a comprehensive guide to support learning, by providing steps which are easy to follow and understand. This book can be utilised with undergraduate or postgraduate learners. The online resources include the power points which provides supports for any research module and academics. There is also reference made to AI applications and how these can be utilised ethically in a way to support the student/researcher experience. I would recommend this text to any novice new to research.
