      5.0 out of 5 stars Great textbook

      J. · February 1, 2025

      Bought for school.

      5.0 out of 5 stars great reference for reading research

      T.S. · August 30, 2022

      I had to get this book for a class for my APRN, but I'm glad I did. This little bugger lays out all the info you need to know in an easy-to-read, simple format. I find it best as a review of all those little details that evaporate as soon as you finish a statistics or research class. My only complaint is that the blue font is hard to read in a certain light, but this little sucker is going into my permanent library

      I wish I had this at the start of my RN to BSN program. It will help with the rest of my classes! This is to the point on how to despiser peer reviewed research essays. It’s a quick 86 page booklet that explains what each part of these essays mean. Love it!

      5.0 out of 5 stars Should have bought sooner

      L.S. · October 11, 2021

      For the price you can't beat this book. The author gets to the point without giving dramatic explanations on defining research terms. A very good guide to quickly help you on your literature searches separating the good from the garbage.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Very clear and concise
