Research Tips

Organizing Your Research

Remember that research is messy. You have the power to help control the mess by employing some kind of research management techniques. By managing your research, you will save time during the research process by not repeating your searches. If you keep good enough notes, adding quotes and citations will be a snap!

Some options to consider:

• • [mostly] free third party software such as Mendeley or Zotero
  • Office365 OneDrive
  • A research log that tracks pertinent details such as: databases searched, keywords used, results received, date accessed, notes
