Developing Research Proposals de Pam Denicolo

Developing Research Proposals: Success in Research

Autor Pam Denicolo, Lucinda Becker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 ian 2012

În peisajul academic actual, unde competiția pentru resurse și locuri în programele de studii avansate este tot mai acerbă, Developing Research Proposals se poziționează ca un instrument esențial în etapa de planificare a carierei de cercetător. Observăm că Pam Denicolo și Lucinda Becker abordează scrierea propunerii nu doar ca pe un exercițiu administrativ, ci ca pe un proces strategic de comunicare. Volumul face parte din seria Success in Research și reușește să demistifice așteptările comisiilor de evaluare, oferind claritate acolo unde adesea persistă confuzia.

Structura cărții este riguros organizată, pornind de la definirea conceptului de propunere și inventarierea abilităților necesare, până la detalii tehnice despre cadrul conceptual, registrul lingvistic și timpul verbelor. Apreciem în mod deosebit secțiunile dedicate identificării oportunităților de finanțare și a supervizorilor potriviți, elemente care transformă acest manual într-un ghid de supraviețuire în mediul universitar. Comparabil cu Research Proposals: A Practical Guide, 3rd Edition de Martyn Denscombe în ceea ce privește rigoarea, volumul de față se distinge prin accentul pus pe vocea autorului și pe adaptarea stilului la audiența specifică, oferind o perspectivă mai aplicată asupra interacțiunii cu recenzorii.

Această lucrare completează armonios opera anterioară a lui Pam Denicolo, precum Publishing Journal Articles, formând un corpus de cunoștințe care acoperă întreg spectrul activității academice. Dacă în Constructivist Approaches and Research Methods autoarea explora fundamentele metodologice, aici se concentrează pe pragmatismul necesar pentru a obține validarea proiectelor. Tonul este direct, lipsit de jargon inutil, facilitând o progresie logică de la ideea brută la un document convingător, gata pentru depunere.

Descriere scurtă

Writing a research proposal is one of the most important tasks facing academics, researchers and postgraduate students. Yet there is a good deal of misinformation and a great lack of guidance about what constitutes a good research proposal and what can be done to maximise one's chances of writing a successful research proposal.
 
Denicolo and Becker recognise the importance of developing an effective research proposal for gaining either a place on a research degree programme or funding to support research projects and set out to explore the main factors that that proposal writers need to attend to in developing successful proposals of their own.
 
Developing Research Proposals will help readers to understand the context within which their proposal will be read, what the reviewers are looking for and will be influenced by, while also supporting the development of relevant skills through advice and practical activities.
 
This book:
  • Explores the nature and purpose of different kinds of proposals
  • Focuses on the actual research proposed
  • Discusses how best to carry out and structure the literature review
  • Examines the posing and phrasing of research questions and hypotheses
  • Looks at how methods and methodology should be handled in a proposal
  • Discusses the crucial issues of planning, strategy and timing in developing targeted proposals
Denicolo and Becker draw together the key elements in the process of preparing and submitting a proposal and concludes with advice on responding to the results, successful or not, and their relevance to future proposals.


The Success in Research series, from Cindy Becker and Pam Denicolo, provides short, authoritative and accessible guides on key areas of professional and research development.  

Avoiding jargon and cutting to the chase of what you really need to know, these practical and supportive books cover a range of areas from presenting research to achieving impact, and from publishing journal articles to developing proposals. They are essential reading for any student or researcher interested in developing their skills and broadening their professional and methodological knowledge in an academic context.

Recenzii

This is a sound introduction to proposal writing, especially for those unfamiliar with the process. It is clearly presented and written in largely jargon-free language that will appeal to the neophyte... The work is useful as an introduction to the proposal-writing process.
Maryam Nazari
Online Information Review
This book is essential reading for those writing research proposals for a PhD application as well as those writing proposals to funding bodies. It is intended for those who are writing proposals for the first time but also for those who may have written proposals before, but never succeeded in getting funding... For me, this book is perfectly pitched. It is simple, but not simplistic. It offers practical advice, but also interrogates your thinking about the actual research design...This book is an excellent addition to any newer researcher's bookshelf as well as for administrative staff and those in research offices who support academics writing proposals. You get a sense that the authors are true experts and genuinely want to support new and early academics in what is an increasingly competitive part of modern day academia.
Annika Coughlin
SRA News
Developing Research Proposals is a very accessible and authoritative guide, and part of Sage’s informative Success in Research Series... Overall, the authors have written a book providing a wealth of information and advice that would come in handy not only to those interested in maximizing their chances to get a research degree place or funding for project in a complex and demanding environment, but also to those interested in their personal development as researchers.
