Raymond Calabrese is professor of educational administration in the School of Educational Policy and Leadership at Ohio State University. He is the author of eight books and is recognized as an academic scholar with a rich background across K–12 and higher education.
This book is to preparing a dissertation what musical notations are
to creating a symphony. The Dissertation Desk Reference provides
ready access to plainly worded explanations and well-crafted
examples that guide nascent scholars and assist dissertation
advisors. The Dissertation Desk Reference is an ideal resource for
pro-seminars where doctoral candidates explore the organization and
writing of the dissertation. It specifically addresses the more
traditional five-chapter dissertation format and equally supports
less traditional dissertation formats.

In The Dissertation Desk Reference, Calabrese offers a resource
that serves as a safe harbor for doctoral students embarking on the
journey of writing a dissertation. With examples to illustrate the
key components of the dissertation as well as checklists to guide
the writer, this is a definitive resource for the doctoral student
and the major professor. I highly recommend this book as requisite
reading.
*Sally J. Zepeda, University of Georgia; author of Professional
Development: What Works, Second Edition*
A must-read for anyone who wants to complete a doctorate. This
wonderfully inspiring work demystifies the dissertation process.
All participants in Eastern Kentucky University's doctoral
symposium will have to have this book!
*Bill Phillips, professor and dean, College of Education, Eastern
Kentucky University*
Every doctoral student and dissertation advisor should have this
book in his/her library. Finally, a single reference that serves as
a comprehensive guide to terminology and concepts commonly used
when designing and writing dissertation research! The book is
user-friendly, with terms organized alphabetically (with
cross-references). Not only are terms defined, but Raymond L.
Calabrese also provides examples of how these terms are used and
applied in actual dissertations.

San Diego State University, CA*
