Concise, encouraging, and filled with practical information, this book is a step-by-step guide for students in the life, natural, physical, and social-behavioral sciences. This third edition has been updated with information about new federal regulations governing research and acknowledges the importance of the internet and World Wide Web to today's scientific community. It will be an invaluable resource not only for graduate students but also for undergraduates and high school students planning for the future.Any graduate student who has not had the privilege of consulting Graduate Research: A Guide for Students in the Sciences is a graduate student deprived. How else can one have the best thinking on what research is all about? On managing one's time? On when to publish and where? On applying for a research grant? On the job interview?--John A. Wheeler, Princeton University
