This book takes a unique approach to the study of research in the field: the authors have written a book for the consumer rather than the producer of research. This practical book offers an overview of the research process, common strategies and designs employed in communicative disorders research, and the organization and analysis of research data. The first part of the book introduces basic principles of research evaluation. The second part then analyzes specific examples taken from current research literature and organizes them according to the main sections of a research journal article: introduction, method, results, and conclusions. The third part of the book presents three complete research articles for evaluation by the reader. For professionals involved in researching communicative disorders.
