If you feel lost every time your lecturer asks you to write an essay, you\u2019ve landed on the right page. In this post, we focus on the research process, providing you with some tips to better find useful resources for your academic papers.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">With the development of digital, finding sources for essays has become easy for students who have 24\/7 access to useful data and\u00a0Open Educational Resources (OERs). However, finding reliable information has become more challenging, as there are many online articles that can\u2019t be cited or aren\u2019t credible.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Furthermore, many first-year students have difficulties in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gre.ac.uk\/articles\/ils\/using-library-resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">using large academic libraries<\/a>, home of thousands of books, journals and electronic resources.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">It\u2019s important you learn how to use your university library and look for reliable resources so you\u2019ll be able to demonstrate that you\u2019ve conducted good research and your work is built on strong information.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Below are some tips to master your research process.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Pay attention to suffixes<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Online you will find\u00a0different types of resources, so it\u2019s important you consider the domain name suffix. There are some suffixes that are more reliable than others: .edu relates to pages created by an educational institution or university; .org refers to websites that have been created by organisations; .gov underlines that the webpage was built by the government, and .com relates to pages that were created by businesses that sell products or services.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Use the conjunction and to combine keywords and phrases within an electronic database<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; If you type an entire sentence within an electronic database, you\u2019ll not get successful results; so, it\u2019s important you select the right keywords and concepts, and link them together with the conjunction and.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Be creative<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; When looking for a specific source, try to express your topic in different ways. An article about higher education might not have the word higher education within the title. However, you can find titles containing words such as universities or campuses.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Use Google Scholar<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Google Scholar is a good method for you to find academic and reliable resources. By using this search engine, you\u2019ll be able to look for articles, books, and thesis. As all the content in Google Scholar is peer-reviewed, it is considered reliable.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Browse museums\u2019 websites<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Did you know that by browsing the most famous museum websites you can find useful and high-quality content? \u00a0So, take a look at them &#8211; they won\u2019t let you down.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Select the right database<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; It\u2019s important you search on a database that owns resources related to your subjects. Most university databases cover a wide range of topics, but, before starting your research make sure you\u2019re looking in the right place.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Writing an essay can be a daunting task for many students who don\u2019t know how to deal with it.
