I liked how you compared reader-centered research to how we research in school. Who you are writing for depends on how you will research. In school we are writing for a professor to show what we have learned. In the work place we are writing for superiors or co-workers to inform, share, or persuade them. There has been one exception to this when I took my speech class. Of course this is orally communicating our research instead of written communication. The teacher was more concerned about how we were delivering, but the students/readers were more concerned with the information we were communicating to them. The research was more centered to the reader/listener than for ourselves and it does seem to make a difference.
