The primary aim of Writing Research is to create a frame of
reference for writing research from a number of approaches to
inquiry; and for a number of purposes. The content is directed to
identifying principles for writing from within commonly used
methodologies and methods in health research, which will guide
writers to transform research data into written forms. The emphasis
will be on the writing task, not on how to conduct the research,
which follows after research data has been collected. The
explanatory aspects of the content of the book will assist
researchers in the development of research proposals and those who
critique or review research for any purpose. The theory and
practice of research writing are comprehensively covered.
Information on how to arrange material for specific purposes is
provided. A range of commonly used research approaches is
encompassed, and the writing task is discussed from within each.
The writing process is linked to a philosophical basis of the
research approach.
