Rezension

"This is an excellent book, which will prove valuable to many readers in different settings, not just students or educators." ( Nursing Times , 4 December 2012)

"All first-year students would benefit from this text when writing their first paper, poster and presentation, regardless of their writing background." ( Times Higher Education Supplement , 8 November 2012)

"This is an excellent book, which will prove valuable to many readers in different settings, not just students or educators. The parameters that govern a paper or presentation related to psychology are beautifully outlined here, and the guidelines offered could not be clearer." (Nursing Times.net, December 2012)
