Recensioner i media

"This textbook offers an approachable introduction to the world of academic research, providing exactly the kind of clear, digestible guidance that first-time researchers need. It lays a solid foundation for understanding not only the 'how to' of research but also the mindset and competencies required to embark on an initial research project with confidence. Written in accessible language and enriched with practical, well-chosen examples, it demystifies core concepts without oversimplifying them. Importantly, the book is fully contemporary - thoughtfully integrating discussions of research ethics and the evolving role of AI in research design. For students taking their first steps into scholarly inquiry, this textbook will be an invaluable and empowering companion."
