According to the Oxford English Dictionary (2010), research is diving deeper into a topic. This is the time for one to investigate and learn more about the topic. There could be some
prior knowledge of the topic and by researching further, more information can come to the surface. At GCU there are various supports available such as advisors, teachers, and the resource center.(Cooper, Decarlo, Forrest et al., 2023) It's expected that the digital universe will double every two years until 2020, and the importance of knowing how to access research resources is something to be aware of because technology will always continue to grow. When an article is peer-reviewed, it means that another professional within the realm of the specific field reviews the article before publishing. Staying current on research is made possible through online libraries like the one in the halo classroom available for GCU students. There are some resources such as Gale virtual reference library and credo reference to help set the foundation for one's research. It’s important to use the right library database after identifying your research strategy. As a graduate student, finding peer-reviewed sources and spending time analyzing sets you apart from undergraduate research. You will have a better understanding of the studies after analysis and will gather information on the validity, methodology, and data (Rempel, 2010, p.539). A research journal will enhance the process of graduate research because it will provide you with the ideas needed to help build a solid foundation. This will help one narrow down the specific research focus. (Cooper, Decarlo, Forrest et al., 2023) After reaching out to librarians and faculty, additional tasks that can be completed in research include a graphic concept map or outline. It’s crucial that resources that are selected are
analyzed and helpful for your research thesis. To make sure that library searches are effective, it's important to use specific language and subject headings for the best results. The approach to
research will always be changing so it’s important to be adaptable to these changes. An annotated bibliography will be needed for research papers. At times there may be a need for a more comprehensive literature review with the correct citations and references. The foundation for graduate research will be completed with locating proper scholarly and peer reviewed sources
to implement, creating research questions, and staying informed on changes and trends in research. (Cooper, Decarlo, Forrest et al., 2023) The academic writer tutorial is filled with information on formatting, language, grammar,
citations, and other resources for APA writing in research. The title page is the beginning of a paper which includes the proper name of the research paper, educational institution, course number, and professor. The body paragraphs contain the meat of the research on ones argument. The reference list gives credit to the contributions of other intellectual properties. (American Psychological Association, 2020). For formatting, its important that the paper contains a page number, correct font, line spacing, margins, alignment and length. An abstract is typical not required for students. It’s important that the writing contains continuity and flow. Bias free language allows papers to be written without judging others or favoring. It’s vital to be aware and respectul to the audience. (American Psychological Association, 2020). In text citations are used for when something is paraphrased or used within the body of the paper. Paraphrases shows a deeper understanding of the topic rather than quoting the information from someone else. (American Psychological Association, 2020).
