Sommario/riassunto

An informative guide to designing and formulating research questions. Crucial starting points for research are often poorly conceived by students and researchers, resulting in problems as they work through the research and overall design and quality of the thesis, dissertation or research project. As students and researchers often spend six months to a year getting their research question right, this book will help set them on the right road.
