Focus on writing
As the focus of the AWELU platform is on writing, we do not discuss what can be referred to as the research process. Research often goes hand in hand with writing, however, and there are aspects that overlap although procedures for choosing topic, method and approach may vary greatly between different fields and disciplines.
