About the Book

Demystifying and charting a path from concept to completion, Destination Dissertation has helped thousands of doctoral students emerge on the other side of their dissertation as successful researchers. The third edition supplements the core 29 steps of the dissertation with new discussions of research technologies and now-popular dissertation sections like theoretical perspective, theoretical framework, and positionality statement. A new chapter looks beyond the dissertation to springboard researchers into future journal and book publishing opportunities.

Review :
Destination Dissertation literally changed my life. Sonja K.

This book is a gift to academia, and every doctoral program in the country should require its students to read it. With relevant, realistic, and easily accessible information, this book covers a wide array of issues pertinent to one of the most important milestones of a graduate education—the creation of a dissertation. It is an outstanding book, and adopting it may only lead to better guidance on my part, and success for my students.
