The Research Process

Picking Your Topic: Research is NOT a linear process!

Why can't I find the perfect source for my topic?

Citation: What is it and why do we do it?

How do I find credible sources?

What is phrase searching and how can it help me?

Scholarly Articles: This brief video shows how scholarly articles get from the writer to the reader.

What is a peer-reviewed article?

Anatomy of a Scholarly Article: This interactive image shows the various parts that compose the typical scholarly article.

Should I use Wikipedia in my research?

Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL): The best online source for information about citation.
