Introduction: Individuality while researching? Yes! Even in research, when you search for and rely on great thinkers who have come before us, the researcher and writer must maintain individuality. If you are able to do this, then you become not just a participant in an academic exercise, but also a contributor to theories and ideas others might in turn rely on during their research. This is, in fact, a time to show your own thinking skills and your own ideas. |
