This is not a standard guide to writing a dissertation, thesis,
project report, journal article or book. Rather, this book will
help researchers who are dissatisfied with the typical recipe
approaches to standardised forms of writing-up and want to explore
how academic writing can be used to greater effect. Writing
Research Critically shows that writing up is not just about
'presenting findings' as if the facts would speak for themselves.
As the authors show there are certain vital skills that any writer
needs to develop within their academic writing, such as the ability
to: develop critical understanding and a personal academic voice
question assumptions and the status quo frame the background and
transgress the frame read between the lines when reviewing the
literature strengthen interpretations and conctruct persuasive
arguments challenge and develop theory and explanations develop
ideas that create possibilities for realistic action Packed with
examples from a range of writing projects (papers, dissertations,
theses, reports, journal articles and books), this book provides a
practical and refreshing way to approach and present research.
Through case studies the authors offer a step-by-step guide from
the early stages of planning a writing project, whether an
undergraduate paper or a professional publication, to the polishing
processes that make the difference between a merely descriptive
account to an argument that intends to be critical and persuasive.
Written in a clear accessible style this book will inspire a wide
range of researchers from undergraduates to postgraduates, early
career researchers and experienced professionals working across a
wide range of fields, and demonstrate how research can have more
impact in the real world.
