Description:

What is wrong with research today? Academic research is in crisis. Academics are having to 'publish or perish' often before work is ready. Professionalism may be sacrificed in the pursuit of research grants and publications. This book argues that research priorities need to be reordered to address the concerns of today's society. Angela Brew suggests that the academy can and must reclaim the research agenda by developing new forms of research, which will provide a new justification for its existance.
