The Back Porch Guide

to the Research Paper

I wrote The Back Porch Guide to the Research Paper because I do not like current trends in the textbook industry. In order to justify prices which are much too high, textbooks designed to help students write better research papers have become so cumbersome that they are practically unusable.

The Back Porch Guide to the Research Paper takes a middle way between providing students with nothing or providing them with something that is too overwhelming. It gives a general overview of key strategies students need to successfully write a research paper. More detailed information, for those who desire it, is distributed in on-line supplements to the workbook which are published as part of Resources for Researchers.
