HOW TO KEEP YOUR RESEARCH PROJECT ON TRACK: INSIGHTS FROM WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

Book ID/图书代码： 04289518C00010

English Summary/英文概要： Textbooks and journal articles on research methods are rarely of help regarding what to do when your research project goes off track. This book addresses this important, and usually hidden, aspect of research by providing students and researchers with insider insights, advice and lessons about the difficulties in the research process. Written by experienced researchers, PhD supervisors and examiners, it should prepare the reader for all that can go wrong when researching a PhD or any large research project. The starting point of each chapter is the acceptance that research projects do not always go smoothly. Researchers must find ways to jump through a myriad of invisible hoops and over a plethora of hurdles of unknown heights to guide their research, from conceptualisation of worthwhile projects to the completion and dissemination to a range of different audiences. The book is divided into four sections: `getting started’, `getting data’, `getting it together’, and `getting finished’. Each section comprises chapters followed by short vignettes - all of which offer insights into researchers facing real-world problems or not quite getting things right in the first instance. This ground breaking book will give hope to the early-career researcher, the PhD or Masters student, and provide experienced academics with reinvigoration and new perspectives on the research process.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当你的研究项目偏离轨道时，关于研究方法的教科书和期刊文章很少会有帮助。这本书通过向学生和研究人员提供关于研究过程中困难的内部见解、建议和教训，来解决这一重要的、通常是隐蔽的研究方面。由有经验的研究人员，博士生导师和审查人员撰写，它应该让读者了解在研究博士或任何大型研究项目时可能出现的所有问题。每一章的起点是接受研究项目并不总是顺利进行。研究人员必须找到方法，跨越无数的无形的障碍，跨越各种未知的障碍，引导他们的研究，从概念化的项目，到完成和传播到不同的受众。这本书分为四个部分：“开始”、“获取数据”、“把它放在一起”和“完成”。每个章节都包含了一些章节，后面是简短的小插图——所有这些都为研究人员面对现实世界的问题提供了一些见解，或者在第一个例子中没有把事情做好。这本破书将给早期的职业研究者、博士或硕士研究生带来希望，并为有经验的学者提供复兴和新视角的研究过程。（WYL）

Awards/获奖情况：“研究项目的构思、撰写和写作的故事可以和书籍和论文一样有价值。”但我们倾向于压制或避免这些故事，尤其是当项目偏离计划、预期或批准的路径时。这个细节丰富和有趣的书提供了急需的开放性的痛苦现实世界的研究，如未能获得研究网站，数据丢失，行不通的伦理管理框架，故障在专业关系，都没找到这句话，“到底发生了什么?”时刻,可以埋伏即使最老练的实地研究。这本书是研究旅程迂回曲折的不可或缺的指南，从啤酒垫的背面潦草地写出来，到出版一份重要的学术著作。”——英国曼彻斯特大学的里奥•麦肯

“这是一个可接受的书面和多方面的编辑集合，它展示了研究人员可能不得不面对的无数的经验和挑战。这是一本引人入胜的书，它邀请读者去思考“做研究”所涉及的各种问题，以及如何进行谈判和享受旅程。它为文学增添了新的重要的补充。”——英国萨里大学的玛丽娅劳拉迪多梅尼克

“这是所有博士生、研究生导师和早期职业生涯研究人员必读的书。作者们论证了在进行研究并提出实用而有见地的解决方案时所面临的不可避免的挑战。读这本书——从最好的方面学习。”——莫拉•希恩，英国爱丁堡纳皮尔大学

`Stories of the conception, undertaking and writing of research projects can be as valuable as the books, theses and papers themselves. But we tend to suppress or side-line these stories, especially when projects deviate from planned, expected or approved paths. This richly detailed and entertaining book provides much-needed openness about the agonies of real-world research, such as failure to gain access to research sites, data being lost, unworkable ethical governance frameworks, breakdowns in professional relationships, inabilities to find the words, and those "what the hell just happened?" moments that can ambush even the most seasoned field researcher. This book is an indispensable guide to the twists and turns of the research journey, from the initial ideas scrawled on the back of a beer mat to the publishing of a major academic work.’ -- Leo McCann, University of Manchester, UK `This is an accessibly written and multi-faceted edited collection which illustrates the myriad of experiences and challenges that researchers may have to face. It is an engaging book which invites the reader to consider the various issues entailed in "doing research" and, crucially, how to negotiate and enjoy the journey. It makes a fresh and important addition to the literature.’ -- MariaLaura Di Domenico, University of Surrey, UK `This is a must-read for all PhD students, postgraduate supervisors and early- to mid-career researchers. The authors demonstrate the inevitable challenges that arise when conducting research and offer practical and insightful solutions. Read this book - and learn from the best.’ -- Maura Sheehan, Edinburgh Napier University, UK
