3.0 Understanding academic writing procedures
Read the following:
"Two years ago, Prof. Weis read a prominent research paper that had just been released. In it, the author mentioned Prof. Weis’ studies twice, arguing in favour of his theory. The paper showed how different researchers were contributing to this important field. By also including the latest findings from a Pakistani researcher named Kim Surinares, the paper introduced a new way of thinking about the topic and got remarkable attention. ‘Those were exciting times’, Prof. Weis remembers. Now, two years later, Prof. Weis is in contact with Surinares, and some of her graduate students have begun to study his other findings in depth. Putting these findings together has revealed completely new insights. Carefully, Prof. Weis runs her finger along the reference that started her on this new line of investigation. At the bottom of page 5 was written: ‘Surinares, K. (2019) Helping firefighters to survive heavy forest bursts, Journal of Scientific Research, 56(4), 55–59.’"
