"Roberts offers an easy-to-read introduction to managing both the research process and the emotional challenges often associated with it." --CHOICE

Entering research can be an apprehensive time - even for established researchers. Research is an emotional process that involves the researcher as a person, not just as someone who applied methods.

  • Entering the field and finding the right research topic
  • Emotional and identity issues of research
  • Overcoming writing and research ′blocks′
  • Getting your research into reports, articles and books
  • Reactions to research and how to handle experiences of rejection
  • The questions every researcher should ask: What do I get from research, and what next?


Loaded with advice on everything from organizing interpretations to coping with stress, this book is a must-read for students of all levels across the social sciences who are about to enter the research field.
