Reviews / Votes
A much-needed book on argumentation in research paper writing. The idea of developing arguments in writing to create new knowledge and perspectives is significant and should be promoted. Through the comprehensive information and insights provided by the authors, readers will learn to write like scholars. * Mable Chan, Senior Lecturer, Language Centre, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong *More details
