The Basics Of Doing Research (part 2)

RESEARCH SKILLS

For a university student, it is very important to do research carefully, since unfortunately, it will not always be very easy with too much information and too many ways to find it. 

 

General steps to follow while doing research:

1.Identify / determine keywords that may assist you in your research. Try to narrow them down to avoid irrelevant information.

2.  Search these keywords in the library or on the Internet to find sources such as books, articles, and journals.

3.  Select relevant sources and evaluate the information: Select which of the sources are more relevant to your focus. Evaluate given information for its accuracy and objectivity, coverage of the topic, and usefulness to your essay.
