Part III Organizing Your Research Paper
This document discusses how to organize a research paper. It recommends using a thesis statement and supporting ideas structure. The thesis states the main argument, such as "Ragtime changed American musical history." Supporting ideas then provide evidence for the thesis in separate paragraphs.

5. Relevant source
Authorship
The involvement of multiple individuals in different capacities naturally evokes the question of who should be credited and held accountable for the research published, especially since careers, ethics, and scientific integrity are at stake. This article outlines the major concepts pertaining to authorship.
Popular vs. Scholarly
Scholarly journals and popular magazines differ in their purpose, style, and intended audience. Scholarly journals are intended for academic experts, featuring in-depth articles written by researchers and citing multiple sources. They use plain designs and specialized language. Popular magazines entertain a general audience, prioritizing visual appeal over detailed research with few citations. Their goal is to promote viewpoints and sell advertising.

How to Manage Cloud Based Computing Products #pcdub
This document discusses differences between managing on-premise versus cloud-based products. For cloud-based products:
1. The software is delivered as a service over the internet rather than being installed on customer servers, allowing for easier updates.
2. There are economies of scale since one server installation can serve many customers in a single-tenant or multi-tenant model.
3. Product managers have to oversee the server infrastructure and internet connectivity in addition to traditional product management responsibilities like roadmaps and releases.
4. Benefits include faster customer onboarding, easier support, ability to change infrastructure, and supporting many customers with one product installation.
Product Pricing 'getting the most jam' #pcdub
- Product pricing involves choosing from options like subscription models, SDK/RTU licenses, upfront vs usage-based pricing, free vs premium versions, and free trials.
- Pricing should be based on what customers will pay based on how the product solves business problems related to time, risk, or money. Metrics include per user, transaction, deployment, or event pricing depending on market size and value proposition.
- Price is a key part of the marketing mix and needs to be considered along with other elements like product, promotion, place, people, process, packaging, and payment. Price books set standard prices but discounts may be needed; channel margin also applies to discounted prices.

Sociology 290: Methods of Social Research
- 1. What’s the Difference? • What is this “peer-reviewed” business? • You may need scholarly articles for your assignment. • Not all journals are scholarly. But how do you tell what’s what?
- 2. The Literature Review • You have a topic in mind so you do a search. • You find some articles and draw on these past articles so you can quote them in your paper to support your points. • Classic papers. • A place to start would be to see who has CITED that work recently and in what context. You want to trace the evolution of those ideas FORWARD in time! • So how can you do this when there is SO MUCH STUFF OUT THERE?
- 3. Here’s some examples…. As a researcher, you can see who is citing your work and in what context. Also good if you find yourself in a tenure track position one day. Address fields: lets you see where an author is from. This is useful if you want to see what your peers are publishing and where. Also what journals they are publishing in. Our first search: hyperconsumption Author search: Ritzer, G (highest to lowest ranking) **notice that you do NOT spell out the first name. Use initials. Cited reference search: George Ritzer’s book, The McDonalization of Society. **this database is BIG on abbreviations. ***work search
- 4. Author finder: George Ritzer Analyze feature: Let’s see what this does! **This feature is good if you are tracking publication patterns, or doing a general search of scholarship (who is doing it? Where, that is, what country? Which organizations? What journals are they publishing in? What subject categories does this particular department publish in?) Address search: Know a department? Remember those dreaded abbreviations! Wellesley Coll, Dept Sociol, Wellesley, MA 02481
- 5. Some words of advice! • To do a thorough job on your literature review, you will need to do it several times throughout the writing/research process. • This will help you frame and reframe your research question. • At the end of the research process, take another quick look at Web of Knowledge just to make sure you did not miss any stragglers. Here is where the citation alerts can come in handy!!! • Questions? Now you try!
Editor's Notes
- George Ritzer, distinguished professor at University of Maryland. Ritzer is most widely known in the scholarly community for his distinctive contributions to the study of consumption, globalization, metatheory, and classical, modern and postmodern social theory.
