Academic research
The document discusses key aspects of academic research, including the differences between primary and secondary research sources. Primary research involves collecting original data through surveys, interviews, or experiments, while secondary research relies on analysis and interpretation from secondary sources. When conducting research, scholars should use peer-reviewed, scholarly sources over popular sources. Traditional academic research can be done through libraries, databases, and field work. Non-traditional research may also include reputable websites and government sources. Effective research requires formulating a clear research question and developing a research plan with goals. Researchers must also carefully evaluate sources based on their credibility, accuracy, reasonableness, and support. Maintaining a working bibliography is important to properly cite sources.
