Today's researcher can get more information than ever before. However, the new materials have a large and varied quality.
How can researchers escape these double problems and produce pioneering research using the material and electronic resources available in the modern university research library? In a digital paper, Andrew Abbott provides some answers to this question. Abbott tells what every great scholar knows: that the search of these materials is not a mechanical, linear process, but rather a deliberate and adventurous journey through a non-linear world.
Library research is divided into seven basic and simultaneous tasks: design, research, surveying / browsing, reading, analysis, filing, and writing. It moves the reader through the stages of research, from confusion to organization, from a vague idea to a polished result. Learn how to evaluate data and previous research. How to follow a path to the elusive treasures; how to organize a project when you start again when you ask for help.
He explains how understanding scientific values, commitment to hard work, and flexibility in changing direction can combine to enable the researcher to transform a huge mass of existing materials into an effective paper or thesis. More than just a manual how to use, Abbott's guide helps in teaching good habits to acquire knowledge, which is the basis of knowledge that deserves knowledge.
Those looking for ten easy steps to a perfect paper may want to look elsewhere. But serious scientists, who want their work to stand the test of time, will appreciate Abbott's unique and direct style, and enjoy every page of digital paper..
