7. Getting started: What is research?
 Research is “a careful study of a
subject, especially in order to
discover new facts or information
about it” (Oxford Advanced
Learner’s Dictionary, 9th edition).
 Writing a research paper requires
you to seek out information about a
subject, take a stand on it, and
back it up with the opinions, ideas,
and views of others (Winkler and
Metherell 2012: 3-4).
