Tip #4: Identify your current scholarly position. In any research project, there will be voices for and against your scholarly position. This is expected. It is easier to ‘combat’ these voices when you are clear on what your scholarly position is. More simply: what do YOU believe about the topic, and why? Who agrees with you? Who disagrees with you? Why? Knowing your own position before you begin will diminish the intensity of feeling confused in the process….. Not that it won’t happen, but it probably won’t be as bad.
