The hardest part of a research paper to me has always been the selection of a good research topic. The other hard part is to narrow the scope of the research topic to a manageable spectrum. However after reading The Craft of Research I realized that I had not been thinking in print. Maybe it is time to go back and take another look at all the papers I have written over the years to see how printable they are. Or maybe not, I should wait until I have finished reading the book and acquired the skills so well articulated in the book, so that when I look at the papers I should be able to ascertain their printability.

The book is awesome and so appropriate at this time of my academic endeavor. The book covers all the skills set necessary to writing a great research paper worthy of printing.
