The first chapter of the Bedford Researcher touches on many topics relevant to writing. When writing, it is important to consider many things. The first chapter is appropriately titled "Getting Started" and creates a sort of check list for creating a paper. Within this chapter are tips for choosing a topic, proper research techniques, and elements of good writing. After choosing a topic, this chapter assists in helping a writer learn how to craft a paper with a correct position, accurate sources, properly manage time, and take advantage of "technological opportunities".
This chapter is vital because it can help keep a writer on the correct track while attempting to work through things or situations that would affect a person's ability to actually work on the topic they choose. Because this chapter is created basically like a check list, it will be useful for any sort of paper. The guidelines are broad and can be adapted because they are not tweaked for a certain topic. The most useful part of the first chapter seems to be the second section on choosing a research topic; it can sometimes be difficult to not only choose but also narrow down a specific issue to write about.
