Research Process
The research process can look different for everyone, and may look different from project to project, but most will have a few common features:
Begin with a question you want answered. What are you most interested in learning?
Decide what type of information you need: do you need newspapers, books, or scholarly articles?
Gather and evaluate information: are your sources current, reliable, applicable, and unbiased?
Is your question answered? Do you need more (or different) information? Do you need to change your question?
Repeat 1-4 until you're ready to use the information: make a decision, write a paper, present, etc.
Don't forget to ask a librarian for help!
Developing Keywords
Make a research question from your topic.
