Check out comments from reviews of the book “How to Navigate a Research Process: Compass Guide for Beginners”:
This relatively brief outline of how to plan, conduct, and write up a research study is aimed at people with little experience, such as undergraduate and Masters students and those new to research. It is a clear summary of the various stages and gives useful pointers to writing about a research study, including what to include and where. A very important area that is often omitted from such guides is how to disseminate findings to a wide range of audiences, including guidance on preparing presentations for different audience types.
The author has a strong track-record in conducting policy-relevant research and shares her experience in a succinct and user-friendly way. Many students and junior researchers across most branches of science will find this guide very useful.

The book entitled Compass for Navigating Your Postgraduate Research Journey: Guide for Students by Sandra Mandic is a comprehensive, well-structured, and easy-to-read pedagogical resource/reference book. I would particularly point out the appropriateness of its form and content to the target group of academic readership. In terms of the formal aspect, there is a good balance of text, warm-colored illustrations, and tips that enable the long-term memorization of the reading material. Concerning content, the book offers well-thought-out topics for the successful embarking on the path of a research journey. Being privileged to be among those involved in the project from scratch, I feel honored to be able to deliver comments on such an innovative piece of writing by one of my brilliant former students
