Conventions and templates: a straitjacket for innovative research -- Metaphors -- Reflexivity -- Reflexivity and metaphors in combination -- Metaphorizing the grounding elements of RP -- Metaphorizing the framing elements of RP -- Metaphorizing the processing elements of RP -- Metaphorizing the delivering elements of RP -- Proposing a kaleidoscopic of RP metaphors -- Illustrating the kaleidoscope of RP metaphors -- Generating more interesting research through metaphorical reflexivity.

Summary: This book offers a unique solution to the shortage of more imaginative and engaging research by re-imagining the core elements of the research process. In contrast to existing methods, which mainly focus on standard ingredients in the research process, the metaphorical approach taken here offers a more varied and comprehensive platform for producing novel, influential and relevant research. The set of guiding principles suggested in the book provides researchers with the resources to break away from existing conventions and templates for conducting and writing research. Re-imagining the Research Process: Conventional and Alternative Metaphors is suitable for upper-undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers interested in challenging traditional views of the research process. --
