Research
Research skills are important in both the academic and the work environment. During your career as a student, you have researched different subjects to gain knowledge. In the workplace, you may conduct research for numerous reasons, such as to determine the cost of new equipment, to gain an understanding of a technical term or concept, to summarize a procedure for your supervisor, or to uncover facts for a technical report.
To keep up with changes in technology, it is imperative that you gain familiarity with all available research methods. In the past, people typically performed research at a library. Today, they turn to the World Wide Web; however, technical writers can conduct research through numerous channels. Personal interviews, e-mail questionnaires, and listservs (programs by which e-mail messages are sent to a mailing list go out to all those on that list) can provide valid research opportunities.
Chances are, if you need to research a particular topic, your first source will be the Internet. There, you can find information from government organizations, academic institutions, commercial groups, and individuals. Remember, though, that not every site on the Web is a reliable source of information. Universities, for example, are more credible than obscure Web sites with a single author who lacks verifiable credentials. To conduct research on the Internet, follow these tips:
· Look for Web sites that end in .gov, .org, and .edu.
· For a .edu or other site, make sure you can find the author of the material.
· Check the author's credentials and see if he or she is referenced in the field.
· Find out whether the author has a bibliography or a works cited section, and check to ensure that his or her references are reputable (i.e., academic books, government journals, etc.).
· See whether the Web page has a publication date, and when the last update occurred.
· If you can't locate the origins of a Web page or its author, be aware that you may not have found a credible source.
Many groups, including federal agencies, offer online indexes and databases. These are generally broken down by subject matter (such as MEDLINE from the Community of Science (COS), which offers medical journals and health publications; or ERIC from the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education, which provides literature on education from journals and other sources). Within each of these databases, you can drill down to relevant research materials by entering specific search requirements. UMUC's Information and Library Services Web site provides a wealth of up-to-date online indexes. You can also find this link in the Toolkit section of this course, if you would like to use it for your reference.
The type of research you'll perform will be determined by your audience and purpose. For example, if your supervisor wants you to report on the latest trends and de ...

Appropriate Style Guidelines
A central aspect of the Teaching-Learning Model at University of Phoenix is the degree of emphasis placed on written and verbal communication skills. To succeed in your college courses and in your chosen profession, you must be able to communicate in a clear, concise, and correct manner.
Universities and colleges normally require a standardized format for written communication. By adopting one style for all writing assignments, instructors are able to assess content and apply the same evaluation techniques to all students’ papers in a consistent manner. Following a formal style also adds credibility and validity to your writing: It will be much easier for your readers to follow the flow of your ideas and to locate information in your paper.
Academic Honesty
Additionally, you must apply consistent style guidelines to credit your sources, which helps you to avoid plagiarizing the work of other authors and to maintain academic honesty. Academic honesty is highly valued at the university—so highly valued, in fact, that the following passage explaining the importance of academic honesty is included in the syllabus for every course:
University of Phoenix students utilize university resources with honesty and integrity. These resources include, but are not limited to, the online library, online consultation with faculty, and registration systems. In addition to truthful representation in these areas, students must acknowledge references from original works, avoid plagiarism, and use writing and formatting styles generally accepted as sound academic writing.
Academic dishonesty could involve the following:
· Having a tutor or friend complete a portion of your assignments
· Having a reviewer make extensive revisions to an assignment
· Copying work submitted by another student to a public class meeting
· Using information from online information services without proper citation
APA Guidelines for Form and Appearance
What Is APA?
University of Phoenix requires APA style as the standardized format in all programs. APA style is taken from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Many colleges and universities use APA to format papers in sociology, business, economics, nursing, social work, and criminology courses.
All your academic papers must meet certain criteria for form and appearance, including the following:
· Font
· Margins
· Spacing
· Page numbers
· Title page
· Headings
· Numbers, abbrevia.
This section of Preparation for Higher Education focuses on Academic Referencing. This section is designed to expand upon the information in the study skills section of the SWAPWest Preparation for Higher Education Materials.
In this section, you will learn how to reference the sources of information that you use to write essays or reports. You may feel a bit worried about referencing your written work if you have never had to do it before. However, once you understand the theory behind it and try it out a few times, you will find that it is actually quite easy to do.

Guide to Referencing and developing a Bibliography
Important Note for Law Students: Whilst these referencing pages will be useful for most
students, Law students should note they are specifically required to use the OSCOLA
referencing guidelines (Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities), please see our
OSCOLA guide for detailed guidelines and examples
http://welcome.ohecampus.com/laureate/upload/LawSchoolCitationGuide2009.pdf
Also see these online guides to the OSCOLA referencing format
https://ilrb.cf.ac.uk/citingreferences/index.html#oscola
Also see our pages on Refworks and other citation software for managing your references
and developing your Bibliography.
What is referencing?
It is very important that whenever you find a reference you immediately make a note of all
the relevant bibliographical (author, title etc) details. It can be very difficult to retrace the
details later and you will need the information to cite the references at the end of your
assignment or dissertation.
When you write your assignment or dissertation you are required to refer to the work of other
authors. Each time you do so, it is necessary to identify their work by making reference to it -
both in the text of your assignment (called 'in-text' referencing) and in a list at the end of your
assignment (called a 'Reference List'). This practice of acknowledging authors is known as
'referencing'.
References must be provided whenever you use someone else's opinions, theories, data or
organisation of material. You need to reference information from books, articles, videos, web
sites, images, computers and any other print or electronic sources. A reference is required if
you:
• paraphrase (use someone else's ideas in your own words)
• summarise (use a brief account of someone else's ideas)
• quote (use someone else's exact words)
• copy (use someone else's figures, tables or structure)

References enhance your writing and assist your reader by:
• showing the breadth of your research
• strengthening your academic argument
• showing the reader the source of your information
• allowing the reader to consult your sources independently
• allowing the reader to verify your data
Always remember to use referencing because if you use someone else's work and don't
reference it correctly, it is plagiarism, which is a serious offence of academic misconduct.
Please also see our Web pages on Plagiarism and how to avoid it.

Essay 3 Proposal and Annotated BibliographyProposalResearch.docxrusselldayna
Essay 3: Proposal and Annotated Bibliography
Proposal
Research papers and projects frequently require a proposal. Proposals are a way of introducing the topic and methodology of your research to your audience before the research paper is complete.
Your proposal for this assignment should be one paragraph that includes:
· The research question on which you will focus
· Why this topic is important or relevant
· A summary of what you expect to discover
· An explanation of what subtopics you will need to research to fully understand your topic
For this assignment, you may need to use first person (I/me).
Annotated Bibliography
An annotated bibliography is a list of sources you are consulting for research accompanied by formal notes (or annotations) written about each source.
An annotated bibliography serves several purposes:
· It allows you to review the materials you have and see what information you still need.
· It lets you synthesize the information you have gathered to further develop
your argument.
· It helps you begin to prepare your sources in the style required for your Works
Cited page.
· It helps other researchers understand what is being published on your topic.
Using the articles you have found on your own, prepare your own annotated bibliography.
You should include a total of at least ten sources.
For each source, you should include:
· The appropriate MLA citation for that source
· A three to five sentence objective summary of that source in your own words
· A one to two sentence evaluation of how you might use the source in your paper or how it might contribute to your research
For examples and additional help, you may refer to p. 66-70 of The Little Seagull Handbook or use the following OWL link: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/1/
(Continued on next page)
Your Proposal and Annotated Bibliography is due on
Thursday, November 15. (Upload to Final Draft # 3 in Essays 3 and 4 folder.)
You will need to submit it to eCampus and bring a hard copy to class.
PLEASE NOTE: You will not need to submit a rough

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

1. Referencing Guidelines
You need to acknowledge other people’s work
which you have used to create your own work.
Referencing helps to avoid plagiarism and shows
your readers what you have researched and how
you have used the information.
SACE Board of SA Student Guide to Referencing, 2015
March 2016
2. • To demonstrate your academic integrity.
•Support your argument or illustrate important points you are making.
•Make it easy for readers to find the sources you have used.
•Fulfil your moral and legal obligations to recognise and acknowledge
the authors of the original ideas.
•Avoid plagiarism so that you are not falsely claiming someone else’s
work or ideas as your own.
Why should information sources be referenced?
3. Referencing styles
There are a variety of different referencing styles
In-text OR footnotes OR endnotes
While the styles and format of each differ they all aim to acknowledge
the source that you are using either directly or indirectly within your
assignment and at the end of your assignment.
The examples used in the Guidelines for Referencing are available on the
SACE website and are based on the Harvard Author-Date system.
Check with your teacher to determine which
referencing style they want you to use.
4. Harvard Author-Date system
The Harvard System of referencing requires two elements: in-text citations
throughout your assignment, and a list of references at the end.
1. In-text citations
Include three pieces of information about a source within the text of your work:
*the surname of the author or authors OR the creator OR the title
*the year of publication
*the page number (where the information/idea can be located on a
particular page, or when directly quoted)
2. List of references
At the end of your assignment, you must include a List of References in alphabetical
order, which is a list of all the sources of information you have used to research your
assignment and have included as in-text references.
Check with your teacher to determine if they want you to include both
a reference list and a bibliography.
Reminder : A bibliography is included at the end of the assignment and includes all
sources used in the research for your assignment – not just those cited in the body of
the assignment and included in the reference list.
5. The basic format of your reference includes the author’s surname
OR title in round brackets with the year (date) of publication
followed by a comma and the page number if applicable. For
example:
(Smith 1999, p. 32)
The basic format is altered if you choose to give prominence to the
author’s surname OR title in the body of a sentence. For example:
Smith (1999, p. 32) suggests OR
School libraries are valuable places as suggested by Smith (1999,
p. 32).

6. When should information sources be
referenced in your assignment?
Direct quote
Short quotations
Long quotations
Used less commonly and only to support or
illustrate important points that you are making.
Indirect quote
Summary or paraphrase
Put the author’s words into
your own
Ask yourself “What is the author actually
saying” and then use your own words.
7. An example of in-text referencing
Direct quote
The following is an extract from ‘Eau what a feeling’ 2013 Good Health pp. 94-
96, Australia/New Zealand Reference Centre, EBSCOhost.
Sports drinks are made up of carbohydrate and fluid to allow an athlete to
rehydrate, refuel and meet their electrolyte needs before, during and after
exercise.
To use this extract as a direct quote in your essay it must be written within
quotation marks. The quote is not usually included in the total word count.
Example (where author/article title is part of the main sentence) :
According to the article ‘Eau what a Feeling’ (2013, p 94) “sports drinks are
made up of carbohydrates and fluid to allow an athlete to rehydrate, refuel
and meet their electrolyte needs before, during and after exercise.”
Example (where author/article title is not part of the main sentence):
“Sports drinks are made up of carbohydrates and fluid to allow an athlete to
rehydrate, refuel and meet their electrolyte needs before, during and after
exercise”(‘Eau what a feeling’ 2013, p. 94).
8. The following is an extract from ‘Eau what a feeling’ 2013 Good Health pp. 94-96,
Australia/New Zealand Reference Centre, EBSCOhost.
They provide a replacement of electrolytes, particularly sodium, which helps
increase fluid absorption and encourages fluid intake by driving the thirst
mechanism, as well as potassium, which can assist in muscle contraction during
exercise, but only if you are exercising for more than two hours.
To use this extract as an indirect quote, quotation marks are not used, since
the words are not exact quotes.
Example : where author/title of article is part of the main sentence :
The article ‘Eau what a feeling’ (2013, p. 95) confirms that sports drinks containing
electrolytes are beneficial but only for exercise over two hours.
Example : where author/title of author is not part of the main sentence :
Sports drinks containing electrolytes are beneficial, but only for exercise over two
hours (‘Eau what a feeling’ 2013, p. 95)

•Your own experimental results
•Common knowledge
Common knowledge includes
•Facts that are commonly known (eg there are twelve months in a
year)
•Facts that are so well known that they are available in a number of
different kinds of sources (eg WW2 began in 1939)
•Commonsense observations (eg interest rates going up will affect
mortgage payments)
The following types of information sources do
not need to be referenced :
12. Create your Reference List
using the Online Referencing Generator
Use the Online Referencing Generator (ORG) to construct both your Reference List
and/or Bibliography.
Access is via the quick links box on the RHS library webpage and the password is
available from the library.
For more information on how to use ORG, check out the 6 steps located on the
Research Toolkit tab – intext-referencing (Harvard author/date) on the RHS library
webpage.
For each source of information on the ORG
there is a corresponding example of an in-text
reference to help you. For example
Website without author :
If you use either of the following library databases: Australian New Zealand
Reference Centre or History Reference Centre from the Quick Links box on the RHS
library webpage, you can use their cite tool to create your reference.
13. What strategies can you use to prepare for the referencing
of information sources in your assignments?
Organise notes and record details of where information was actually
found as you go.
Record details of the information source being used on the pages of
your notes, printouts or photocopies of information so that it will be
easy to compile your in-text references.
Set up a chart to keep track of the basic bibliographic information using
the ORG of the information sources used.
Know the difference between a direct and indirect quote.
Practice putting an authors OR creators ideas into your own words.
Try to pass up drafts with in-text referencing so that your teacher can
check whether you need extra help.
Ask the library staff for assistance!
14. Final Tips
Check which referencing style your teacher wants you to use.
Use consistent format and punctuation.
Use the ORG to create your references but if you are using
information sources from the library databases use the cite tool to
create your reference. Copy and paste the reference.
Keep a logical record of potential references as you research
particularly for information you want to use as in-text references.
Remember if the source has a page number you will need to include
this as well.
Editor's Notes
Idea – what the idea of the source expresses but not the specific language used
Exact – quote – from an authority supports your point
Present a position or argument to comment on
Present a well-stated passage whose meaning would be lost or changed if paraphrased
Include eg historically significant language
