Writing research is a field of study that focuses on examining the process of writing, including the cognitive processes involved, the strategies that writers use, and the effects of various writing practices on the quality of written work. Researchers in this field may study various aspects of writing, such as planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. They may also investigate how factors such as motivation, feedback, and individual differences impact writing performance. Writing research can inform teaching practices and help educators develop effective strategies for teaching writing skills to students of all ages.
