8. Develop a habit of continuously sourcing new
articles relevant to your research topic.
Academic literature search engines are
useful in all the stages of your research
process. You will use them when
developing the research concept, in the
process of literature review, and in the
research paper writing process.

Article citations with links to their full text;
Authoritative research materials, such as documents
and photos of local or historic significance;
Digital versions of rare items that aren't available to
the public.
You can search for popular books, music CDs
and videos—all of the physical items you're
used to getting from libraries.

19. The data exists.
It is just
waiting for
someone to
analyze it.
The first step of finding data is to know
where to look. Existing online
databases may, in fact, include data
which you are looking for.
The data collection process doesn't need to be strenuous.
The challenge of sourcing relevant data is encountered by
many researchers.

First thing is to understand literature
sources and make sure they are
reliable.
Using reliable sources and literature in
research papers is essential to
strengthen your argument. Sources
and articles used need to be both
credible and relevant so that they
enhance your paper's quality rather
than undermine it.
Turn to the publishers and article
archives that we provide to you in
the following slides to find the
paper that helps you build and
support your thesis, and explains
your findings.

36. The research process is easier and more
enjoyable when you have someone to
share it with. Networking, collaborating
on research projects and exchanging
knowledge is well facilitated via social
networks for researchers.
Find someone who shares your research
interests, and let your work reach
a wider audience.
Engage in research networks and
spread your ideas.
