An easy way to calculate the moments of sample correlation coefficients

The purpose of this paper is to introduce an easy way to calculate the general moment of the sample correlation coefficients. A straightforward method of doing this is introduced, and applied to obtain more moments, and more tenns, than those have been introduced by Ghosh (1966) and Hotelling (1953). Moreover we deduce the first six moments, skewness coefficient and kurtosis coefficient .
