Evaluating Research Articles from Start to Finish
Ellen R. Girden
$42.64

About this product:

Evaluating Research Articles, Second Edition will help researchers reach a decision about any conclusion reported in a research article. It takes you through articles with the author, noting the rationale for a study, its purpose, the soundness of the design, the appropriateness of the analysis of data and interpretations of the results, the conclusion reached, and whether it is justified. Types of studies range from descriptive (e.g., case studies, surveys, correlation) to analytical (e.g., experiments involving two or more matched or randomly formed groups). Types of analyses range from simple t-tests to multivariate (e.g., analyses of variance, factor analysis, and multiple regression). This new edition also includes things to look for in the article, in the form of readily accessible lists of factors in the design and statistical analyses that are critical for determining appropriateness of conclusions. There is greater coverage of designs and analyses of data, more up-to-date articles, more articles to critique without help (but answers provided), and a glossary of all technical, relevant terms.

BOOK
Complete Idiot's Guide to Publishing Magazine Articles
Jennifer Basye Sander
$7.00

About this product:
"Freelance writing is not easy, but it is doable," say the authors of this primer. There will be times, they add, when there is no work. When there is no money. When no one returns your calls. Hardly sounds alluring. But if you've got the bug, or suspect you do, this is as fine a place as any to get a feel for the freelance life. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Publishing Magazine Articles features interviews with freelancers and editors, and chapters on generating ideas, querying, writing, interviewing ("there's no such thing as a stupid question"), and developing a niche. Other sections give the inside skinny on the industry: who the big players are, who the top editors are, what firsthand accounts are worth reading. And there is even advice for dealing with taxes and contracts. Breathe easy: "The new media world still needs the old-fashioned writer." In fact, writing for the Web, the authors say, can be quite lucrative. Just be sure, for writing online as well as in print, to avoid committing any of the authors' "Ten ways to turn off an editor" (including: be a stalker, misspell the editor's name, balk at changes). And remember: "Persistent people make it as writers." --Jane Steinberg
