Book review: Using a book-club approach to support early researchers building their research program

Abstract

We used the book entitled, Developing a Program of Research, by Nancy Edwards and Susan Roelofs to support early researchers in building their research program at the University of Ottawa. Given the challenges of finding time to focus on our research program, we set up a series of four sessions every two weeks that required participants to read two chapters from this book in preparation for group discussions while concurrently building their own research programs.
