Consuming and Producing Research in
Communication Sciences and Disorders is an exciting new textbook
designed for undergraduate research methods in communication sciences
and disorders (CSD) programs. It is also appropriate for first-year
graduate students taking research methods courses in speech-language
pathology and audiology. The text guides students in attaining the
competencies required to consume, produce, and disseminate research;
and students will have the knowledge and skills that are necessary and
sufficient to conduct research as is consistent with the duties of an
academic professor. The text reviews what obligations an individual,
professor or not, has before being permitted to do research. The
emphasis is on clinically-oriented professionals who can perform the
research associated with professors.
Part
I on Consuming Research in CSD includes academic-clinical integration
of research, as well as information required for consumption of
research such as research ethics, the scientific method, types of
research, and how to critique a journal article and a diagnostic test.
Part II on Producing Research in CSD helps guide the undergraduate
student in producing a capstone project or senior thesis and the
master’s student in producing a graduate thesis or research project.
Part II also addresses mentoring, the Institutional Review Board, and
conducting academic and clinical research. Part III addresses
Disseminating Research in CSD, from the traditional (presenting and
publishing academic and clinical research) to the non-traditional
(marketing, social media, and new technologies).
