In Stuart Greene's article "Argument as Conversation," the type of research he is talking about is conversational inquiry.  Conversational inquiry is when an issue and situation contribute to framing a problem in a particular way and researchers seek not to collect information, but to generate new knowledge in a social process.  In Michael Klein' article "What Is It We Do When We Write Articles Like This," the type of research he is talking about is heuristic.  Heuristic is a problem solving pattern approach used to research.

It seems that Greene prefers to use inquiry to start conversation, while what Klein prefers to use is the pattern of researching first, then writing as well as using peers and colleagues as other resources.  He has also seemed to adapt to writing as he researches as a way to gain knowledge.  I feel that Greene is writing to a new group of college students who are just starting to write research based articles and Klein is writing to those who are experienced, but tying to find the best way for them to research and write.  I feel that these audiences are different, because Greene's audience may not be experienced and may be looking for a place to start, where as Klein's audience is working to find what will make them successful.  The content or style of the writing may change just by making the research personal and fitting it to the style that each person prefers and getting advice and input from others.
