The Handbook of Social Work Research Methods represents an area that we have several other publications coming out and a market we actively reach.

It will also contain more on meta analysis, designs to evaluate treatment and will provide more support to help students harness the power of the Internet.

We will also make a greater effort to promote the book as a textbook, as we will do with the other two handbooks.
