How to reach the pinnacle of academic achievement
The dissertation is a tough mountain to climb; half of all doctoral students never make it to the top. To overcome the practical, social, and psychological obstacles along the way, you need a knowledgeable guide and the right tools. Written in an engaging and motivational style, The Dissertation Journey is a comprehensive how-to guide for graduate students faced with the challenge of developing and writing a quality dissertation. Readers of this new edition will find
Expanded and updated coverage of crucial topics such as conducting a literature review, dissertation support groups, and harnessing technology to conduct research
Graphics, quotes, illustrations, progress tracking tools, sample forms, a new chapter-ending resources feature, and other user-friendly elements
Thoroughly updated and revised chapters with the most current need-to-know information
This clear, practical guidebook will make the journey to "doctor" smoother and help you reach your academic goals.
"The Dissertation Journey has been a valuable read for more than a decade. Dr. Roberts and Dr. Hyatt bring years of doctoral teaching and dissertation advising experience to this essential book."
-Stuart Allen, Professor of Organizational Leadership
Robert Morris University
"This book contains sound academic research advice in an easy to understand and follow format. The book's benefits extend beyond the dissertation to any subsequent scholarship that the reader undertakes."
