Abstract
"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 and systematic literature review, controversies about theory, and the evolution of multidisciplinary, coauthored projects."--BOOK JACKET.
