RESEARCH STREAM
For many students, research is an intimidating and overwhelming process. But another way to look at the prospect of conducting research is that it is your turn to delve into a new and interesting subject and present your own ideas about what it means. There is creativity in the research process, because you can often choose your own topic and sources, and use your ability to synthesize and analyze information to create something entirely new, whether it is a paper, lab report, or presentation. The advent of the Internet simplified research in many ways, making it more convenient and comprehensive.
Academic research can be intense, stimulating and rewarding. But it is important to know that a research career involves many activities besides research. Scientists spend their time writing applications for funding to do research, as well as writing scientific papers to report the findings of their research. In addition, they spend time presenting their research in oral or poster form to other scientists at group meetings, institutional meetings and scientific conferences; they also spend time teaching students about their field of study.
Choose a Topic: A professor will often assign a topic, or provide you with a list of approved topics from which you can choose the one that interests you most. That makes choosing a topic easy.
Gather Your Resources: Research involves sophisticated scholarly sources. Libraries, archives, databases, and other online materials are all considered appropriate and even necessary sources of information for research work.
Evaluate Your Sources: After gathering a number of potential sources to peruse, take the time to determine whether they are beneficial or not. It is important to evaluate the research and articles you have uncovered before launching your project. Use Your Sources: Once you have determined that your research materials are worth digging into and working with, you can approach the data in different ways to get the most out of your research.
