In this first chapter on the writing of research papers, you observe a student writer working on a research paper. You will learn that the research process is recursive: the researcher begins with one research question and a working hypothesis, discovers through research that the question and hypothesis are inadequate, and reformulates the question and the hypothesis. As research and evidence make change necessary, the researcher revises and reshapes the paper and the conclusions reached in it. Throughout this chapter, you will learn about the nature of research and about the importance of satisfying the needs of the writer as well as those of the reader. You will be given many examples to support the emphases of this chapter.
