"Bringing together valuable insights from a range of research experts, PhD supervisors and examiners, this thoroughly revised second edition of How to Keep Your Research Project on Track details how to deal with the unexpected difficulties of research, and what to do when a project deviates from the plan. Keith Townsend and Mark N.K. Saunders give us essential insights for carrying out research, as well as developing resilience in academia. Key features of the second edition: - Vignettes from experts who have had experience with difficult research projects - Nine new chapters on topics such as the presence of AI generated content in research and the use of social media - Crucial advice on each part of the research process, including writing proposals, gathering data, compiling analysis and undergoing peer review - Insights into what can go wrong in research projects, for instance, issues with conflicting evidence and research study incentives, and how these can be addressed Engaging and accessible, this book is an important resource for early career scholars, PhD candidates and masters students. It will also provide more experienced academics with a fresh perspective on the research process"--
