A Must Read
There is an article in the latest issue of IEEE Potentials that discusses how to approach research. I think the article was titled “Balanced Research”. Even though it is in a tech journal, the article would equally apply to all fields. I wish this article had been written a few years ago when I was just starting out in grad school. I cannot post a link to the full text of the article since that would be a copyright violation, but if you drop in a note at pseudosanity at gmail dot com I would be glad to email it to you once I scan it.
