 What a masterpiece of simplicity! September 8, 2005
Jane Harper (Rockford, IL USA)
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I've bought two successive editions of this book, and will recommend it to any of my students who finds him- or herself needing to produce a critical review of literature.
The Matrix Method is a simple, clean, and easy-to-understand way to find, review, classify and organize the literature in any subject! It is elegance itself.
Brava, Dr. Garrard!
 Good especially for grad students October 6, 2007
E. Epstein (Virginia)
I wish I'd read this book when I was starting my doctoral program. It is easy to read, almost too simplistic in some spots. Overall helpful and logical. Recommend for doctoral students.
 Nothing you did already know February 21, 2008
J. Moore (Normal, IL USA)
This book is a general help with literature reviews. However, it is not anything special. It covers general material and offers a general approach and doesn't do anything SUPER, just does it MEDIOCRE.
Buy it if you have or need one more book to read.
