PPA 505 Research Application I: Organization

1 - Terms and databases document and RefWorks

Keep a document as you search for resources. 

  • Record all keywords & subject headings to a word doc – note which databases you used
  • If any terms aren't useful, cross them out. Don't deleting them.

Save all your citations in RefWorks. 

  • Create folders not only by facets & subtopics, but also for process:
    • "Have read"
    • "Need to read"
    • "Waiting from ILLiad"
    • "Have in Full Text"
    • "Just in case" (for those which probably aren't worth saving, but better to have & not need than try to find in a few weeks/months)
  • RefWorks can create a bibliography in APA 7th
