How to Do Research in 7 Simple Steps It’s 2 am, and you’re on your fifth cup of coffee (or was it your sixth?). You’re crouched at a table in some dark corner of the library surrounded by fifteen open books. Equally as many tabs are open on your laptop, and you still haven’t written a word of the paper that’s due in 7 hours. Many things can explain how you got to this point, including procrastination, poor organization, and a messy schedule. Very often, however, the problem is a lack of research skills. And it’s not your fault. I think we can do better than that, however. What Is Research? Before we go any further, what is research? At its core, research is an attempt to answer a question. To answer your question, you consult books, academic papers, newspaper articles, historical records, or anything else that could be helpful. And, usually, once you’ve done the research, you present or summarize it in some way. Even if you have no interest in academia, research is an extremely useful skill to learn. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Plagiarism You have something in common with the smartest people in the world. You see, everyone has ideas. We use our minds to create something original, whether it’s a poem, a drawing, a song, or a scientific paper. Some of the most important ideas are published and make it into books, journals, newspapers and trustworthy websites that become the building blocks for things we all learn. But ideas are also very personal, and we need dependable ways to keep track of the people behind the ideas we use because they deserve credit for their contribution, just as you do if someone uses your idea. Meet Cassie, a university student. She’s not the kind of person who would plagiarize by turning in someone else’s work, but she is aware that plagiarism can happen accidentally, so she follows some basic rules: First, when she quotes an author directly, she uses quotations marks around the words to show that they are not hers, alongside a mention of the author’s name.
