Researching is a big task, so it can be overwhelming to know where to start—there’s nothing wrong with a basic internet search to get you started.<\/p>

Online resources like Google and Wikipedia, while not always accurate, are a great way to orient yourself in a topic, since they usually give a basic overview with a brief history and any key points.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Not every source is reliable, so it’s crucial that you can recognize the good sources from the not-so-good ones.<\/p>

To determine a reliable source, you’ll need to use your analytical skills and critical thinking, and ask yourself the following questions:<\/p>

Does this source agree with other sources I have found?<\/p>

Is the author an expert in the field?<\/p>

Does the author’s point of view have a conflict of interest regarding this topic?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The internet is a big place, and, for the most part, anyone can say whatever they want online—many websites don’t evaluate their content for factual accuracy.<\/p>

This means that there are plenty of unreliable resources out there, and even many that are outright incorrect.
The best way to combat this is to make sure that whatever you find in your research, several different sources can verify that it is true.<\/p>

Rather than going off of one webpage, make sure that at least two other places say something similar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Good research is all about finding answers to your research questions-not necessarily as a way to verify what you already think you know.<\/p>

Solely looking for confirmation is a very limiting research strategy, since it involves picking and choosing what information to collect and prevents you from developing the most accurate understanding of the topic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

During the data collection process, you’ll be seeing a huge amount of information, from webpages to PDFs to videos.<\/p>

It’s vital that you keep all of this information organized in some way to prevent yourself from losing something or not being able to cite something properly.
There are plenty of ways to keep your research project organized, but here are a few common ones: Bookmarks in your Internet browser, index cards, and an annotated bibliography that you keep updated as you go<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
