Developing a Research Strategy
Developing a Research Strategy. The “Research Strategy Worksheet” should help you plan your research efficiently. Begin by having your topic and specific purpose clearly in mind. Use the guide at the end of this chapter or the Internet to identify one or more sources of general information to start your search. Read that background material, take notes, and write down the key terms you will use to access in-depth information, Using library indexes and abstracts or an Internet search engine, build a bibliography on your topic. From your bibliography, identify those articles or books that seem most relevant to your specific purpose. If timeliness is important for your topic, find one or two current references. Finally, check for local applications.
