Educational Research: Competencies for Analysis and Applications was first published in 1976 as a 354-page tome when I was barely two years old. The current 11th edition is testament to the book's applicability and relevance, successfully enduring the trial of time; key considerations within which continue to underpin educational research. The authors' intention to write a how-to manual for educational research is clearly evident. This book is the toolbox-that-has-everything which beginning researchers would need and very much appreciate; that the book doubled in size over the past 40 years is neither coincidence nor accident. Indeed, a significant update to the 11th edition is the revision of Chapter 3, Literature Review, to incorporate influences of technology on how literature is curated.
