Designing Research for Publication Anne Sigismund Huff Written in a conversational, easy-to-understand manner, Designing Research for Publication discusses topics readers must consider to effectively design their own research, including project purpose, ontology and epistemology, subdisciplinary focus, different approaches to literature review, alternative methods, practical implications, modeling, evaluation, and ethical issues. Concluding chapters present three conversations with other scholars on critical systematic literature review, controversies about theory, and the evolution of multidisciplinary, coauthored projects. Key Features: • Contains Practical Exercises in Chapters 1-12 (and collected in Appendix C) to help readers make research design decisions, and provides instructors with suggestions for class-based assignments for individuals and groups • Considers Political and career Questions in most chapters that offer a springboard for classroom discussion of issues that readers are often hesitant to voice • Includes an Extended Example in Chapter 4 that illustrates how the work of an individual scholar develops and interacts with the work of others over time • Provides an Annotated Bibliography at the end of the book that suggests additional readings relevant to research design topics • Recommends Internet Resources in Appendix A to encourage readers to take advantage of the no-cost research design resources available online • Presents a Design Checklist in Appendix B with questions readers should ask themselves when constructing and evaluating research design
