ABSTRACT
Most of this book does not follow a step-by-step approach because each publication will raise fresh issues and readers have different needs. If you already have questions or problems I suggest you use the A to Z section to fi nd the information you need, but if you want a general overview the following steps are designed to help you navigate around the book and refl ect the stages common to most research publications. Bold print indicates an entry in the A to Z section, which you should consult if you do not understand the term or want more detail.
