1 like•864 views
This document provides instructions for using the CQ Researcher database to conduct presearch and find a topic for research. It recommends beginning with the "Hot Topics" or "Browse Topics" sections to find an issue that is interesting, significant, and has multiple sides that can be argued. The document cautions against topics that are overused or about which the student knows too much already. It encourages finding a new topic to learn about. An example is given of using the "Pro/Con" section to explore the debate around a carbon tax. Presearch is distinguished from research, and the goals of presearch are outlined as understanding issues, arguments, theories and deciding what further research is needed.

The document discusses the importance of writing an effective thesis statement. It defines a thesis statement as an explanation of the topic or purpose of a research paper. The main job of a thesis statement is to foreshadow what the entire essay will be about. If the essay is molded around a strong, solid thesis statement, it will result in a successful essay. A good thesis statement has three parts - the subject, a precise opinion, and the blueprint of reasons supporting that opinion. Writers should ask questions to check if their thesis statement answers the assigned question, takes a position others may challenge, and is supported specifically by the essay without digressing.

What is presearch (#1)
Presearch is an important part of the research process that occurs before beginning to search for information. It involves activating prior knowledge about the topic and generating questions to guide the research. Presearch gives context by helping the researcher understand what has been published on the topic and how it fits within the broader field. It allows the researcher to see multiple sides of an issue and possible answers to their research question. Presearch is exploratory and uses general sources to develop a broad overview before more in-depth research is conducted.

Research Paper
A research paper is an analytical or persuasive essay that presents and argues a thesis (evaluates a position)
What a research paper is not
A simple collection of facts on a topic
A summary of information from one or more sources
Research Paper:
From an Interest to a Topic
In choosing a topic start with what interests you most deeply
Start by listing two or three interests you might like to explore/questions that you have wondered about
Examples
If you are undertaking a research project in a specific field, skim a recent textbook, talk to other students, or consult one of your teachers
Examples
You might try to identify an interest based on work you are doing or will do in a different course
Types of topics to avoid
If you are still stuck you can find help on the internet or in your library
Standard Guides in Various Fields
Dictionaries: briefly define concepts and sometimes offer a bibliography
Encyclopedias: give more extensive overviews and usually a bibliography
Bibliographies and Indexes list past and current publications in the field
Finding dictionaries, encyclopedias, and bibliographies in particular fields:
Go to Pfau Library Home Page
Under Search For heading click on the Encyclopedias/Dictionaries link
Under Search Online Databases heading select bibliographies and type your discipline into the search bar.
Scan headings for topics that catch your interest
Once you identify a general area of interest, use the internet to find out more about the topic so that you can narrow it.
At first you may not know enough about a general interest to turn it into a focused topic.
If so, you have to do some reading to know what to think about it.
Don’t read randomly: start with entries in a general encyclopedia, then look at entries in a specialized encyclopedia or dictionary, then browse through journals and websites until you have a grip on the general shape of your topic.

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.

Using cq researcher for presearch
- 1. Using the CQ Researcher Database to Initiate Presearch Presented by Ann Westrick Funded by a grant from the Jerome Library Bowling Green State University Bowling Green, Ohio, USA
- 2. First, go to the library website Libraries www.bgsu.edu
- 3. Once at the library, click on “All Databases.” All Databases
- 4. We’re looking for “CQ Researcher.” Click on “C,” C
- 5. Then scroll down and click on “CQ Researcher,” CQ Researcher
- 7. IMPORTANT! Before going any further, ask your instructor if s/he has any banned topics. For example, many GSW instructors will not allow students to write about abortion or gun control.
- 8. Why? Banning over-used issues requires students to discover new and interesting arguments to which they can add something new. So your goal when finding a topic should be to find something that is interesting and significant whose conversation you can add to.
- 9. Back to CQ Researcher . . . First, look through the “Hot Topics.” I’m an education major. Maybe there will be an education issue I can write about? Hot Topics
- 10. This article is informative enough, but it’s really not interesting to me. No problem; that’s why this is called presearch. We’ll just keep searching until we find a topic what is significant and interesting and to which you can add something new.
- 11. Let’s go back to the “Hot Topics” list. I wonder what’s under “Science and Technology?” Check it out— nothing ventured, nothing gained.
- 12. Now this is interesting; but I don’t know if I’ll be able to argue this issue. Maybe I should see if there are other options.
- 13. Another place you can look for a topic is “Browse Topics” on the home page. Browse Topics
- 14. You can also look under “Browse Reports” and click on “Pro/Con.” Browse Reports
- 15. “Pro/Con” offers a detailed look at a more specific issue. For example, under “Environmental Protection” there is an interesting, significant debate about carbon taxation.
- 16. This article gives a brief, clear look at two sides of the carbon tax debate. Oh, wow, this is interesting and significant, but I don’t know anything about this topic. This sounds like a good topic for you to research. If you already know a lot about a topic, that’s OK, but learning about something new and cool—THAT’S the crux of academic argument and research.
- 17. Remember: Presearch does NOT take the place of research. Presearch allows you to: • begin to understand the issues involved in your research question • understand multiple sides of an argument • get an overview of theories related to the topic • see possible answers to your research question • decide what issues/information you need to continue researching.
- 18. Continue presearching until you find an issue that is significant, relevant and arguable. If you need to stop and start over or backtrack—THAT’S FINE.
- 19. Keep in mind that presearch is supposed to pique your interest and get the research process started. Once you have found your interesting, significant, debatable issue then the search for current, credible, academic sources begins.
