·           Chapter learning outcomes and key points to help students to remember important information

·           A companion website with interactive glossary and reflective exercises to help students test their knowledge and apply it to practice, printable step-by-step frameworks for use when searching for or critiquing a paper, and direct links to relevant SAGE journal articles and weblinks.

·           Further resources for lecturers are available, including all the practice examples from the book, seminar question ideas and critical appraisal powerpoints.
