“Research” is an iterative process that includes:
· Selecting and framing a topic
· Background reading / familiarizing oneself with the topic
· Identifying and finding relevant knowledge produced by
others
· Evaluating sources for credibility and relevance, i.e.
moving from browsing and skimming to close reading.
· Original discovery and evidence gathering in labs, the
field, archives, etc.
· Situating evidence within the existing scholarly
conversation
· Synthesizing information sources/evidence in order to
craft arguments and or create new knowledge
PROJECT INFORMATION LITERACY (2013) The proliferation of digital information resources have made conducting research paradoxical: information may be as limitless as the universe, yet defining and narrowing inquiries and finding relevant and accurate answers is one of the most difficult and frustrating challenges college students face today. Furthermore, based on the flood of comments and reactions to these findings from educators, administrators, professionals in various fields, and laypersons, it appears that the “information-seeking paradox” affects almost everyone.
Writers rely on background sources, interpret or analyze exhibits, engage arguments, and follow methods.
