This document provides an overview of the key components of a research paper. It defines research as a systematic process of investigation to establish facts and reach conclusions. The key players in research are primary sources, secondary sources, and tertiary sources. Primary sources are original materials from a specific time period, secondary sources interpret or evaluate primary sources, and tertiary sources are collections of information based on primary and secondary sources. Other components discussed are the writing process, works cited page, and MLA documentation style. The document emphasizes that research is a process that must be carefully followed.
Source Selection
This document discusses different types of information sources for research: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary sources provide direct, first-hand evidence like speeches, letters, photographs. Secondary sources analyze or interpret primary sources, like books or articles about an event. Tertiary sources provide brief overviews without analysis, like encyclopedias or fact books. The document provides examples of each type and notes that the date of a source impacts whether it is primary or secondary. Researchers use tertiary sources for background and primary and secondary sources to construct their research.
Introduction To Research (Part 2)
Primary sources are sources created during the time period being studied, such as diaries, interviews, speeches, and government records. Secondary sources are sources created after the event that interpret or analyze the event, such as textbooks, encyclopedias, and scholarly articles. When conducting research, it is important to locate information from both primary and secondary sources and record the details of each source, including title, author, date, publisher, and page numbers to properly cite the sources and prevent plagiarism.
Reference Books
The document provides descriptions of 8 common reference sources - almanac, atlas, biographical index, dictionary, directory, encyclopedia, guidebooks, and thesaurus. For each source, it gives a definition, reasons for using it, and instructions on how to use it. The task at the end is for students to visit stations around the library with the different reference sources and use them to answer questions on a worksheet.
Evaluate Your Research
This document provides guidance on evaluating research sources. It recommends checking who wrote the source, its scope, where and when it was published, and how the information is presented. It also suggests looking at an author's credentials, additional writings, and reference lists. Books should clearly indicate the author and credentials. Bibliographies and notes can lead to more sources. The scope defines the topic's breadth. Bias should be considered by checking the publisher, author affiliations, and date. More recent sources are generally better. Conclusions should be clearly stated and citations and references properly formatted.

These Notes are essential for a student LL.B. 5 years semester system course outline.
I am hoping the students will find it very interesting!
Types of Resources
There are two main types of resources: print and electronic. Print resources include primary and secondary sources such as books, periodicals, and reference materials. Primary sources are original, unedited information while secondary sources interpret and analyze primary sources. Electronic resources include e-books, databases, websites, and more. Knowing the differences between resource types helps find the most relevant information for research needs. The document provides examples and tips for evaluating various information sources.

1st qtr 7 using library resources in getting information
This document discusses different library resources and how they can be used to find information. It explains that an encyclopedia provides detailed information on various topics arranged alphabetically. An almanac contains facts about sports, awards, oceans and other annual topics. A dictionary defines words and provides pronunciation, origin, parts of speech, synonyms and other details. A card catalog contains small drawers with cards listing each book in the library. An atlas contains maps, locations of places, and geographical information. Students are assigned tasks to look up topics using different resources like the dictionary, encyclopedia, atlas, almanac, and card catalog.
Primary secondarysources
Primary sources provide direct first-hand accounts of events or ideas, such as letters, speeches, oral histories, artifacts, and original creative works. Secondary sources interpret and analyze primary sources, such as textbooks, scholarly articles, documentaries, and encyclopedia entries. The document emphasizes that understanding the difference between primary and secondary sources and where to locate them contributes to effective research and helps students understand what knowledge is needed. Students are advised to recognize the formats of different information sources at the onset of research.

All About Books
Books provide in-depth information and perspective that is important for academic research. In the sciences, most communication occurs through journals due to rapidly changing information, while in the humanities books are still key due to needing historical context. Old books remain valuable primary sources, even in sciences, though science books may become outdated. College libraries provide access to physical and electronic books through catalogs, databases, and interlibrary loans. Books offer additional references that can lead to more resources for research.

American drama EH
This document provides guidance on researching American drama for a term paper by outlining steps like searching subject specific databases to create an annotated bibliography, examining key authors and sources, and evaluating references in articles through footnote chasing to continue expanding one's research. It also lists several relevant databases and resources for exploring this topic as well as contact information for a reference librarian available for assistance.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism involves presenting another person's ideas or words as one's own without proper citation or credit. It includes directly copying text without quotation marks or attribution, paraphrasing another's idea without citation, and submitting another's work as one's own. To avoid plagiarism, students should use direct quotations sparingly and cite sources, paraphrase ideas while introducing and citing the original source, and ensure all work submitted is their own original thoughts and writing. Taking thorough notes, including citations, while researching can help properly incorporate others' work later.
Ppt on plegrism
This document defines and discusses plagiarism. It states that plagiarism is passing off someone else's work as your own, and can include using others' written work, research, or creative works without proper citation. The document outlines five types of plagiarism and provides examples of what constitutes plagiarism, such as copying verbatim without quotation marks or failing to cite sources. It advises how to avoid plagiarism through proper summarization, paraphrasing, or quoting of others' work with citations.

Chapter 4
1. The document provides guidance on how to evaluate an author's message by making inferences, assessing the author's qualifications and purpose, distinguishing facts from opinions, and evaluating evidence.
2. It emphasizes making inferences based on details provided and omitted, noticing clues in word choices and emphasis, and verifying inferences with evidence.
3. The document also notes the importance of assessing an author's background, publications, and reputation, as well as distinguishing facts that can be verified from opinions that cannot.
Research Sources
Here are some key points about citing sources:
- Citation style guides (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.) provide standard formats for citing sources in papers and bibliographies to give credit to authors and allow readers to find the sources themselves.
- Online citation generators can help format citations, but should be double checked against the official style guide as they sometimes make mistakes. Relying solely on generators is not recommended.
- The type of source (book, article, website, etc.) determines how it is cited. Books generally require author, title, publisher, date. Articles require author, title, periodical, date, page numbers.
- Citations are included in the body of a paper and

Academic writing on literature (from Gocsik’s Writing About World Literature)
The document discusses several key aspects of scholarly writing, including conventions, analysis, and thesis statements. It notes that scholarly writing conforms to certain expectations, including analysis, interpretation, and using evidence from texts. Writers must consider the ongoing academic conversation and audience expectations. A strong thesis statement makes an arguable claim and sets the scope of the argument to follow. Supporting details and examples from the text must then be provided to back up the thesis.
What is a literature review A literature review is NOT.docx
What is a literature review?
A literature review is NOT a book review; it is a review of the literature. THE literature, in this
case, means all of the research you have collected. Your secondary sources only. The
scholarship.
So, why am I doing this?
Because good researchers—good writers—do it. You may be tempted to just jump directly from
gathering materials to writing an essay (or you may have been tempted to skip the research part
altogether); however, before you can write an essay, you need to identify a purpose for your
writing and develop a plan for using your sources. You need to synthesize; the lit review is that
synthesis. This is also an important step in proving your expertise before I allow you to edit and
annotate a fairy tale.
So, what am I looking for?
Basically, you are looking for patterns of association; you want to look at the body of scholarship
(the literature) you have collected and decide how it all works together. You need to see the
literature as a body of research rather than separate pieces. The scholarship is written by real
scholars who are familiar with one another’s work and sometimes know each other personally; it
is a kind of elaborate conversation. You are listening to that conversation, waiting for a good
opportunity to jump in.
So, I have six pieces of literature to review, right?
Well, you have AT LEAST six pieces. It will actually be easier to write a lit review of more
sources; eight or ten sources would be a good number. This does require more research and more
time for reading, but the payoff is greater expertise and more to discuss in the review.
Okay, so what do I do first?
First, make sure you have gathered the literature. For this assignment, I am only permitting you
to use the CSCC Library databases to gather your sources. Specifically, you will look at the
Academic Search Complete, MLA International Bibliography, and Literary Reference Center
databases; if these don’t turn up 6-10 good sources for you, then you can search other databases
(and I have posted a video showing you how to do this research, so make sure you watch it). You
are NOT permitted to locate web based sources, even via Google scholar. And I am asking you
not to use books, simply to save time.
And then?
Once you have all of the literature, you should read it and understand it. It isn’t absolutely
necessary to pore over each page of each source—this would likely be hundreds of pages of
difficult reading. Use your reading skills—the first two or three pages usually contain the thesis
and main arguments—the last couple of pages will often contain some kind of summary or
conclusion. Look for important headings in between. I strongly suggest highlighting the thesis
(probably more than a single sentence) and the main points (topic sentences) and any interesting
passages you may want to reference later.
But how do I write the lit review?
You should begin by grou.

your popcorn and soda in hand, and get ready to issue a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down”
as you leaf through the pages. “Literature Review” done. Right?
Wrong! The “literature” of a literature review refers to any collection of materials on a
topic, not necessarily the Great Literary Texts of the World. “Literature” could be
anything from a set of government pamphlets on British colonial methods in Africa to
scholarly articles on the treatment of a torn ACL. And a review does not necessarily
mean that your reader wants you to give your personal opinion on whether or not you
liked these sources.
What is a literature review, then?
A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area, and
sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period.
A literature review can be just a simple summary of the sources, but it usually has an
organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis. A summary is a recap
of the important information of the source, but a synthesis is a re-organization, or a
reshuffling, of that information. It might give a new interpretation of old material or
combine new with old interpretations. Or it might trace the intellectual progression of the
field, including major debates. And depending on the situation, the literature review may
evaluate the sources and advise the reader on the most pertinent or relevant.
But how is a literature review different from an academic research
paper?
While the main focus of an academic research paper is to support your own argument, the
focus of a literature review is to summarize and synthesize the arguments and ideas of
others. The academic research paper also covers a range of sources, but it is usually a
select number of sources, because the emphasis is on the argument. Likewise, a literature
review can also have an “argument,” but it is not as important as covering a number of
sources. In short, an academic research paper and a literature review contain some of the
same elements. In fact, many academic research papers will contain a literature review
section. But it is the aspect of the study (the argument or the sources) that is emphasized
that determines what type of document it is.
Why do we write literature reviews?
Literature reviews provide you with a handy guide to a particular topic. If you have

1) A primary source is an original document or object that provides first-hand information about the topic being studied. Primary sources vary by discipline but can include historical documents, eyewitness accounts, experimental results, works of art, and more.
2) A secondary source is something that discusses, analyzes, or builds upon a primary source. Examples include scholarly articles reviewing original research, newspaper articles, book reviews, and more.
3) It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between primary and secondary sources. For example, a book analyzing slave narratives could be considered either primary or secondary depending on how it is being used. Scholarly journals also contain both primary research articles and secondary review articles.

The Proposal In a paper proposal, your job is to answer t.docx
The Proposal
In a paper proposal, your job is to answer the what, how, and why of your essay topic so that
your audience understands the basic parameters of your argument.
For this proposal, you will write me (your professor) a letter that contains the following:
1) Capture the reader’s interest with your introduction, which should be a brief explanation
of your topic as a whole. This is where you explain the exigency (show why this is a
problem/idea worth considering and why?)
2) Write your working thesis statement. Formulate the question that will govern your
research, and then answer it with a strong statement/claim that your paper intends to
prove.
3) Supply background/context on your topic along with the purpose and relevance of your
thesis. Explain what you hope to prove or uncover. Provide concrete examples of the
issues you will be exploring, and explain why the research you will conduct is important.
This is where you will branch away from the primary source (the novel) to explain why
the theme or idea you are exploring is relevant beyond the page.
4) Discuss preliminary research on your topic while developing your proposal; explain how
this research fits into your argument and plans for the paper. How are you going to use
your sources? (make sure to include primary and secondary sources).
Project Text: The Road
In this project we will explore the post-apocalyptic genre and how texts of this genre reflect issues
and anxieties coursing through everyday life.
You will begin this Project by reading and analyzing Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. During this
time, we will pay close attention to themes being built within the text that provide insight on
“real-world” issues. You will then conduct research of your own (using the CSUN databases) in
order to find evidence that supports your theme in that “real-world” context.
The essay itself will be an argument made by you with an explicit thesis that is proven with
evidence from our primary text: The Road, and at least three resources you have found on the
CSUN databases.
Basic Requirements:
- 6 page minimum with Works Cited (not included in page count)
- Standard MLA Format
- A completed essay packet.
- Essay needs to be posted to your Class Website AND turned in at the beginning of class.
- Minimum of 3 secondary sources. You may use the articles I have provided for you, but
these will not count towards the minimum requirement.
- Proof of visit to the LRC.
- Completion of all lead-up exercises.
Exercise 1: The Review
For this assignment, you will be required to write a scholarly review of Cormac McCarthy’s The
Road. In this review, you will be required to interpret The Road within a larger conversation (based
on the themes you have been developing throughout the past few weeks). Your review will need
to include supplemental information from two of our previous texts.

South asian history.
David McCullough warns that not knowing history is like a "creeping disease" and that everything in modern society exists because of the hard work of those who came before. Historians explore the past to understand how people lived and the decisions they made, and to see how the past is linked to our present lives. Historians use primary sources like documents, artifacts, and eyewitness accounts as well as secondary sources like textbooks to learn about history. It is important to ask questions when studying history and use multiple sources to draw conclusions, just as detectives solve cases.

Literature Reviews
What this handout is about
This handout will explain what literature reviews are and offer insights into the form and construction of literature reviews in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.
Introduction
OK. You’ve got to write a literature review. You dust off a novel and a book of poetry, settle down in your chair, and get ready to issue a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” as you leaf through the pages. “Literature review” done. Right?
Wrong! The “literature” of a literature review refers to any collection of materials on a topic, not necessarily the great literary texts of the world. “Literature” could be anything from a set of government pamphlets on British colonial methods in Africa to scholarly articles on the treatment of a torn ACL. And a review does not necessarily mean that your reader wants you to give your personal opinion on whether or not you liked these sources.
What is a literature review, then?
A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area, and sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period.
A literature review can be just a simple summary of the sources, but it usually has an organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis. A summary is a recap of the important information of the source, but a synthesis is a re-organization, or a reshuffling, of that information. It might give a new interpretation of old material or combine new with old interpretations. Or it might trace the intellectual progression of the field, including major debates. And depending on the situation, the literature review may evaluate the sources and advise the reader on the most pertinent or relevant.
But how is a literature review different from an academic research paper?
The main focus of an academic research paper is to develop a new argument, and a research paper will contain a literature review as one of its parts. In a research paper, you use the literature as a foundation and as support for a new insight that you contribute. The focus of a literature review, however, is to summarize and synthesize the arguments and ideas of others without adding new contributions.
Why do we write literature reviews?
Literature reviews provide you with a handy guide to a particular topic. If you have limited time to conduct research, literature reviews can give you an overview or act as a stepping stone. For professionals, they are useful reports that keep them up to date with what is current in the field. For scholars, the depth and breadth of the literature review emphasizes the credibility of the writer in his or her field. Literature reviews also provide a solid background for a research paper’s investigation. Comprehensive knowledge of the literature of the field is essential to most research papers.
Who writes these things, anyway?
Literature reviews are written occasionally in the humanities, but mostly in the sciences and social scienc.

English 102: Literary Research Paper
I. DEFINING THE RESEARCH PAPER
A literary research paper--unlike a research paper on abortion or euthanasia--focuses on critically
analyzing/interpreting the meaning of literature. What's more, the term "research" implies that you will be
incorporating research from reputable secondary sources into your paper. In short, you will be
analyzing/interpreting a piece (or several pieces) of literature and supporting your analysis with
"research."
The research paper must be at least eight (8) pages in length, and it must adhere to MLA standards and
guidelines. Further, you must include a minimum of seven (7) sources in your paper, six (6) of which must
be considered "secondary sources" (explained below), and it must include a "Works Cited" page.
II. GETTING STARTED
Your first step in writing the research paper is to decide which author (or authors) you would like to write
about. You are required to make your selection(s) from the authors we have discussed this
semester, although you are more than welcome to find texts from your chosen author(s) that were not
included on the syllabus.
After you have decided which author (or authors) you are interested in writing about, you need to decide
which texts to include in your discussion; this may change as the paper progresses, but you should begin
with a clear idea of which texts you would like to include in your analysis.
The next and most obvious step in the process is to read and then reread--several times--the text or texts
you have chosen. In order to say something meaningful about a text, you need to know it backward and
forward. As one critic relates, you need to "have a sure sense of what the work itself is like, how its parts
function, what ideas it expresses, how it creates particular effects, and what your responses are." In short,
read, reread, and then when you think you are done, read some more.
After you are comfortable with your knowledge of the text (or texts), the next step is to develop an angle
of analysis. In other words, you need to decide how you want to approach and organize your paper.
There are several different ways to organize a literary research paper, but more likely than not you will
want to adopt one of the following organizing principles:
A. Literary Elements: A research paper that is organized around literary elements generally
includes a focused discussion on one or more of the following: setting, speaker, symbolism, irony,
imagery, tone, language, etc.
B. Themes: A research paper that is organized around a theme, such as death, life, love, race,
gender, class, cultural identity, etc., generally includes a focused discussion on the role a
particular theme plays in several pieces of literature.
C. Critical Approaches: Whether you knew it or not, you adopted a specific approach to analyzing
literature in both of the essays you wrote for class, namely a "formalist" approach to
int.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
