\"\"Research Process<\/h2>\n

The research process is about knowing where to search, understanding what you are looking for, and determining how you will use it once you find it.<\/p>\n

Understanding your assignment, choosing a good topic, and deciding whether a source is worth your time are essential research skills. The Queens College has developed a 5 guide series that will provide tips to help get you started and develop your research skills and strategies.<\/p>\n
