Authoring Research Questions

 So, you’ve been tasked with writing a research paper. You might even have a general direction or writing prompt to get the ball rolling. But what happens if the general direction is “climate change” or “major innovations in technology during the Cold War”? What happens if you’re told to “pick your own topic”? Where do you begin? With such broad topics, it can seem impossible to find somewhere to start. Don’t worry, this first part of the Research Essentials series will get you going on the path to authoring a research question. 

Better Search Techniques

 Is using the basic search tool for your favorite database returning too many results? Are your search results tenuously applicable to your research question? Does the advanced search tool look like a confusing medical form? You’re not alone. This second part in the Research Essentials series will give you some better search techniques. 

Finding the Right Sources

 No one has time to actually read 30 journal articles, let alone stay awake while reading them. This third part in the Research Essentials series will give you tips and tricks for finding the right sources without falling asleep at your desk. 

Paraphrasing and Summarizing

 Paraphrasing and summarizing are ways of incorporating other writers’ ideas into your work without using direct quotes. Using paraphrases and summaries will support your arguments, highlight additional viewpoints, or expand the depth of your writing. 

In-Text Citations

 In-text citations ensure the authenticity of your academic work and provide evidence of your research process. Citing your references, quotations, and paraphrases will help you avoid plagiarism by pointing to an entry on your Works Cited page
