ABSTRACT

This chapter explores students how to effectively and efficiently retrieve and use scholarly sources for their project. Articles that appear in peer-reviewed academic journals are written by experts for experts. After performing their research, scholars submit their work to these journals, which then undergo a review process. Many researchers choose to begin their research on Google Scholar, or even Wikipedia. The chapter presents how to create a good annotated bibliography to keep students organized and on the right track. A word of caution, however: students can usually only do this from a computer on campus. There are many ways to cite sources, but they’re all systematic. Students create surveys to measure how professionals work most effectively, how doctors perceive their patients or their pharmaceutical representatives, and how donors and volunteers relate to a nonprofit.
