Whenever we read about a scientific breakthrough or a crisis in world affairs, we benefit from the research of those who report it, who in turn benefited from the research of countless others. When we walk into a library, we are surrounded by more than twenty-five centuries of research. When we log on to the Internet, we can read millions of reports written by researchers who have posed questions beyond number.

TIP
A downside of academic research is its isolation. you’ll read and write mostly alone. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Look for someone other than your instructor or adviser who will talk with you about your progress, review your drafts, even pester you about how much you’ve written. That might be a gener-ous friend, but better is another writer so that you can comment on each other’s ideas and drafts.

Of course, we want to believe that our opinions are sound, yet mistaken ideas, even dan-gerous ones,flourish because too many people accept too many opinions based on too little evidence. And as recent events have shown, those who act on unreliable evidence can lead us—indeed have led us—into disaster

Without trustworthy published research, we all would be locked in the opinions of the moment, prisoners of what we alone ex-perience or dupes to whatever we’re told

Research is hard work, but like any challenging job done well, both its process and its results can bring great satisfaction. No small part of that satisfaction comes from knowing that your work sustains the fabric of a community of people who share your interests, especially when you discover something that you believe can improve your readers’ lives by changing what and how they think

why you should think of your project not as solitary work but as a conversation with sources whose work you read and with those who will in turn read your work .

IS THAT REALLY!!!!!!
As complex as that process is, we will work through it step- by- step so that you can see how its parts work together. When you can manage its parts, you can manage the often intimidating whole and look forward to doing more research with greater confidence .

intellectual understanding is one of the best versions of the Golden Rule: Listen to others as you would have others listen to you. Precise demonstration of truth is important but not as important as the communal pursuit of it.
