  • Focus and narrow your topic to develop a thesis statement and set clear research goals
  • Identify high-quality information resources in a variety of formats (book, article, media)
  • Use effective search strategies and techniques
  • Evaluate your results for authority, reliability, accuracy, timeliness, and usefulness to your project
  • Cite your sources properly in your work.
