Reviewer comments:

“This is a book worth adopting because it is hands-on, user friendly, practical, and downright helpful to beginning researchers. It is very concrete and the examples used were very helpful.”
Jacquelyn Monroe, The Ohio State University

“The workbook is straightforward and breaks the process into manageable steps that should alleviate much of students' anxiety, which, in my experience, is the biggest barrier to students engaging in research.”
Wanda M. Spaid, Brigham Young University “ Planning and Conducting Agency-Based Research tends to demystify the process by adroitly using examples and by breaking down the research process into manageable and easily understood components. In short, it is an excellent basic step-by-step approach to research.”
Howard Karger, University of Houston
