ANNOUNCEMENT
We are delighted to announce the publication of the 2011 edition of Dissertation and Scholarly Research: Recipes for Success (Recipes), and the launching of our new website: www.dissertationrecipes.com.
We are dedicated to keeping Recipes for Success current so that students are provided with all the ingredients to put together a gourmet dissertation that the student, the committee and the university will be proud of. The 2011 version includes an update of all sections of the prior version as well as: more quality URLs; more rubrics; more information on the ethics of research; more on abstract writing; more on proposal writing; more on the qualitative paradigm; and more on validity and reliability.
When it comes to a doctoral dissertation, the challenges are immense, especially for adult students returning to school. Students need a place to turn to where their questions can be addressed. Very few busy professionals have much of a sense of how to begin the process of dissertation development, how to do original research of credible academic quality, and how to craft research results into a dissertation. Recipes for Success fills these needs. From the very beginning of the doctoral journey to the ultimate achievement of degree completion, Recipes for Success is a user-friendly guide to the process and content of dissertation and research creation.
Book Excerpt:
Please note: Recipes for Success is presented in three phases. In PHASE 1 you will start your initial preparation, gather ingredients, and prepare the menu for your feast. This includes your mental, physical, and psychological preparation along with the selection of the type of meal (topic and research method) you will serve. In PHASE 2 you will gather your accoutrements and utensils to collect and analyze data to help you solve the problem you pose, answer your research questions, and obtain your purpose. In PHASE 3 you will learn how to put your meal (dissertation) together to ensure a delicious high-quality study to serve at your feast. Included are several presentations and hyperlinks to serve as your maître d' for your banquet.
Our companion website (www.dissertationrecipes.com) supports the book by providing students and faculty a range of supplemental and resource material, including slideshows on major proposal and dissertation elements, methodological resources, writing guides, and a host of other materials. A faculty resource page is also included with materials we have found helpful in mentoring students to successful dissertation completion.
