“This book will help beginning (and advanced) researchers improve their management of time, resources, money, data and the myriad other details that need to be attended to for a successful outcome. It will revolutionize its subject area and I only wish I had this book earlier in my own career, and for the many graduate students I have taught over the years.”

- Kristin Luker, University of California, Berkeley

“This is the book I have been looking for the past twenty years I have been doing research. I will use this book in methods courses, with my research team, and re-read it many times. If you only have time to read one book about the research process, this is the one you should read.”

- Elaine Howard Ecklund, Rice University

“Project Management for Researchers is a gift to the research community—a much-needed asset for faculty teaching courses in social research or advising dissertation and for students carrying out research, from capstone projects through dissertations. The contents are comprehensive (I was particularly glad to see a whole section on adaptation), the advice practical and wise, and the prose succinct and graceful. This will be an indispensable addition to any short list of books on producing good social research.”

- Paul DiMaggio, New York University

“Project Management for Researchers offers practical, grounded advice for a frequently overlooked aspect of academic work. This book is a worthwhile resource for researchers at any career stage looking to manage their projects with more clarity, intentionality, and confidence. It does not promise to eliminate the messiness of research, but it offers tools—and perhaps more importantly, perspectives and points for reflection—that can help researchers make that mess more manageable.”
