Read & Evaluate Articles



During the search process you need to read and evaluate the quality of the articles you are collecting. Most of the time you are searching for peer-reviewed articles (in academic journals).

Quick Tip 1. Organize your articles into primary (ones that are directly related to your topic) and secondary (tangentially related to your topic) folders.

Quick Tip 2.  When you save your article, use last name, underscore, then year (e.g., Kay_2016).
