Research Process
Question-Discover-Learn
Integrity and Participation in a community of scholarly practice
Integrity--Treat your field of study, your sources, your own thinking and your audience members fairly and with respect
Participation--Progress from being an outsider, to joining a community of scholarly and professional practice as a novice and then to becoming a member of a discipline
Question
Pose a question that interests you and others, with an understanding that “research is iterative and depends upon asking increasingly complex or new questions” (ACRL)
Discover Sources
Search for and access credible sources that can help you answer your question
Use Sources
Thinking/Creating--Transform what you learn from others into knowledge of your own making
Reading/Understanding--Read, view, interpret, analyze, and critique material from sources to construct your answer to the question
Writing/Sharing--Compose, produce, revise and present your answers and learning to others as a disciplined contribution to knowledge
