Craft of Research-Chapter 4

Chapter 4 discusses problems and the difference between practical and research problems. Using that chapter can help a write come up with a research problem and then discover why the reader should care about the problem. I like the distinction the chapter made between applied and pure research. Pure research refers to understanding and only trying to foster that understanding for other researchers or readers. Applied research on the other hand refers to doing, putting the research into action. Applied research looks at a practical application of the research.
