In this afterword, I summarize the strengths and challenges of different research methods used to study second language writing processes with reference to the various chapters in the volume. This is followed by a discussion of considerations researchers have to make when choosing a method. Next, I summarize themes that are apparent throughout the volume, and then focus on certain themes that I believe need more attention.
