A hurdle often seems to exist between the wish to be involved with research and actually getting underway. However, once that barrier is negotiated the process of what we broadly call research becomes easier and the development of research interests and the accompanying work tends to carry its own momentum.

In this article I outline some ideas and practical tips on how to get started in research and also some thoughts on why one should commit some energy and time to this area of professional activity.
