Abstract

This chapter provides the reader with principles for writing and research that the authors have developed over their lifetimes. They have published close to 600 refereed articles, monographs, books, and book chapters between them and have learned what works and what doesn't in professional writing and research. Further, each of the authors has been involved with implementing technology-driven doctoral programs and they share the lessons learned from these experiences. The suggestions they offer are not intended to be exhaustive but rather are designed to provide the reader with a framework for success in writing and research. They share their successes and failures and the necessity for accepting and using feedback and critical reviews in a positive and productive manner. Additionally, they address the issue of technology in research and writing and how these tools can aid those developing a research agenda. They offer hope to those beginning a research and writing agenda and believe that if they can succeed others can as well.
