Chapter 1 in How to Keep Your Research Project on Track, 2024, pp 1-9 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter offers insights into the genesis of How to Keep Your Research Projext on Track emphasising that research projects rarely go smoothly. It provides an introduction to the second edition highlighting how contributors were asked to provide their own insider accounts in the form of chapters and vignettes, offering revealing insights and highlighting their own lessons. These are written as if relaying a story to a friend in a coffee shop or pub, telling aspects of research as they actually are. The chapter offers an overview of the book highlighting how it is divided into four sections relating to different stages of the research process: ‘Getting started’, ‘Getting data’, ‘Getting it together’ and ‘Getting it finished’. Brief summaries of the key foci of 20 chapters and 16 vignettes are provided.
