1. I am having a difficult time finding full scientifically evidenced based journals that I do not have to purchase.
2. The most difficult part of research is organizing my information into my paper in order for it to make sense to the reader.
4. A question that I have when researching is how many sources to use.

# data[].attributes.body
Some challenges in research in this class are not finding reliable sources or not being able to fully understand what the sources mean. Credibility is another issue because not all sources are reliable and provide us with the correct information.

To get started when I do my research I usually make a list of potential sources to use. Then I actually go through them all and decide if they have enough information as well as reliable information.

The most difficult part of doing research is usually finding reliable sources to use. Some either don’t have corresponding information with other sources or they just don’t make sense. Other times it’s difficult to find sources at all.

1. The most challenging part of doing research for me is that I tend to find way too many articles that are basically irrelevant to what I am looking for specifically. Expanding on that, it is also a struggle to find articles that don't all have the same basic information, this makes it difficult to gain a proper understanding because it feels like a one-sided view.
2. A big challenge is getting started. I may not be great at finding resources with good details so its hard to create a starting point to follow up on.

1.The most difficult part of doing a research project for me is choosing the topic and finding information it, and deciding whether the source is viable or not.
2. The problems I have in doing research for this class is that some topics are to general and have so many different aspects to them that I don't know where to start and when i do start I have a hard time being specific

2. During research does the publication date of  articles matter?

Getting started is were I struggle with when starting to research a topic  like what is the first thing I should start with and how show I expand from there and what's the best way to do that.
I find it difficult to know which sources are credible and when there's a ton of info how to break it down so I can gather the information that I need for the particular subject.
When I do research I tend to start off with the library database and expand on that. I try not to use google initially but eventually I start looking it up that way.

# data[].attributes.body
1. When I start to research, I usually look up information relating to my topic in different categories. For example, I'll search different area's it is relevant in, different people it effects, what the environment is like, compare a specific place it is relevant in to another place, etc. Doing that makes the information more focused on the topic.

2. A problem I have while doing research is trying to find information that may be too specific, therefore it's nowhere to be found easily on the internet. Even credible sources sometimes don't have the information I'm looking for, so I usually just leave out a point that I want to make because I can't find anything to back it up with.

3. A method I use to find articles that are more "tailored" to my topic is the WSU online library. They have an advanced search that allows you to search any topic, and then once searching you can narrow it down to only newspaper articles, journal articles, scholarly and peer-review content. This helps with finding reliable sources for information to quote in a paper. After I do this I'll google other sources that appear to be reliable, and look for sources they used at the bottom of the website.

Q: What challenges are you facing in doing research for this particular class?
Finding sources is difficult because I am not sure what sources are credible or not, other than ".edu" and ".gov" but I would like more help navigating databases. Also, I struggle citing the different types of sources.

Q: What is the most difficult part of doing research for you?
Finding good sources. Sometimes the information gets repetitive and I struggle finding more credible sources. I also find citing sources hard as well.

Q: How do you get started when you have to do research?
I identify sub topics I want to group my paper into and then I search the website and pubmed, an online database of published medical articles, and start searching for sources on my topic.

Q: What methods do you use when you need to narrow your topic ("I'm finding too many articles that seem relevant to my topic")?
I use the suggested topics to narrow them down or I make my topic less broad. For example if my topic was depression in adults in the U.S., I could narrow my topic down to effects of depression or causes of depression.

If anyone is having issue related to finding information regarding their particular topic then I highly suggest using the library's online database of texts. You can control F through the text to search for specific phrases or words. That way you don't  have to actually read a whole text and maybe you can just focus on what you're actually looking for.
Also researching take a long time and can be very stressful. So i'm going to to try and start earlier on so that this assignment doesn't make me miserable :)

For me what’s difficult about doing research is being able to find reliable sources that fit what I’m looking for. Also being able to find sources with a lot of good quality information. I have some difficulty with narrowing down my searches and finding multiple sources that all connect with each other. How I get started when doing research is that I start searching articles for my topic and just start looking at what comes up and from their try to narrow my searches.

A challenge I face when it comes to research is finding the information I am looking for. Sometimes when I have an idea or question in mind, it is hard for me to find answers. When doing research, I find it most difficult to find reliable sources. I usually start my research by having an idea and a set of questions on my topic and finding sources that answer them. I have problems finding books when it comes to research. If I want to narrow my topic I will try to be more persist in my idea or if I can't find anything I will broaden it.

One thing that I have difficulty with when doing research is finding credible sources that have a lot of information. I usually start doing research by looking at a couple of different sources and making bullet points of information that is relevant to my topic. Some other problems that I have when doing research is narrowing down all the information that I have into the most important for my paper that also makes sense. I like to use google scholar in order to make sure that my sources are credible.

1. I am having a difficult time finding quality sources on my topic. I am not sure if its because there isn't too much research done on my topic, or if I am not narrowing down my searches enough.

2. Definitely finding quality sources.

3. I get started on research by simply googling my topic and learn a little bit about it first so I know what to look for. Then I use Google Scholar and the databases through the Worcester State Library. Sometimes I will research  articles to look at their sources since some of them usually use academic ones.

The most difficult part of doing research would have to be finding reliable, informative sources that have the information I need. I also usually start doing research by finding sources that are broad and then narrow in on some of the key details mentioned in those articles. I do find it hard to find research that all lines up and says a lot of the same things making it confusing to have an understanding of whats true and not. When it comes to finding to many articles I usually narrow my sources by putting key words in, while taking away key words when the information is to broad.
