"Overall, the encyclopedia is a useful, readable, and accessible addition to the library of any communication research professional or student. It is a welcome addition to an area where scholarly literature has been scant. This book is recommended for academic libraries."

S. Mofford

"This encyclopedia thoroughly covers the research process... The entries are concise and offer further reading selections... Verdict: Suitable for communication collections, this impressive reference work should interest graduate students in communication."
