The Success in Research series, from Cindy Becker and Pam Denicolo, provides short, authoritative and accessible guides on key areas of professional and research development.
Avoiding jargon and cutting to the chase of what you really need to know, these practical and supportive books cover a range of areas from presenting research to achieving impact, and from publishing journal articles to developing proposals. They are essential reading for any student or researcher interested in developing their skills and broadening their professional and methodological knowledge in an academic context.

This book will be of interest to some of the stronger students who are perhaps considering progressing to postgraduate study, and who have completed dissertation research with the potential to be published and/or developed further.
This is a 'marmite' book. The authors speak very directly and personally to the reader - some will like that and some will not. I suspect most of my students will not. I liked the way they match different approaches to different personalities / dispositions (they might say learning styles). Overall, found it useful but not a replacement for Rowena Murray's work, which we currently recommend. However, students who find Murray too wordy and theorised may well like the brevity and practical approach.
The unit I offer is for a professional doctorate (EdD), and I emphasise that mid-career professionals pursuing a doctorate need to keep publication in view at all times throughout (and beyond) their doctoral studies. This book will prove useful for the more advanced students who are really poised to begin thinking seriously about publication and submitting. It's not as useful for the core of students I have who need help honing their skills in critical reading and writing. I have shown the book to several colleagues, who have ordered it for themselves.
This book is very useful for academics and PHD students who want to publish their dissertation after the qualification.
This is a clear and useful text. The short sections make it very accessible and well focused on the process of moving towards submitting an article and getting it published. it will be useful for undergraduates, postgraduates and academics. Summaries of key points at end of chapters might be helpful.
Very helpful text. This text is an easy to read and practical book. It is accessible to students and also non-academic people
This looks like a very useful new text and I shall certainly be recommending it to our PGR students.
Excellent. Will try to get book adapoted for whilst it focueses on journals it is also useful as a guide to student research planning in general.
A useful, if somewhat introductory, text on an area of PG study that many find daunting.
This book is particularly useful for post graduate students during the early months of their research degree. It clearly outlines the elements needed to write a paper for publication.
