The Process of Research Writing
Steven D. Krause · Eastern Michigan University
This research writing textbook suitable for teachers and students in research oriented composition and rhetoric classes.

First you think, then you research, and then you write. The reality is though that the possibilities and process of research writing are more complicated and much richer than that.
