Clear guide

A very easy to read guide on conducting systematic literature reviews. This book made the process- which at first seemed overwhelming, very manageable in a clear step by step process. Highly recommended.

Very helpful resource/guide for students. I am using this as a primary resource in a research course I am teaching and think students will find it a helpful guide that they can keep going back to.
