How do I get started on a research project?

Answer

If you're at the very beginning of the process, the Start Your Research guide is a great place to start.

Starting a research paper or project can be overwhelming. We suggest that you begin by thoroughly reading your assignment, consider a topic you're interested in, and then explore and refine the topic as you gain more knowledge.

This process isn't necessarily linear, and you will need to give yourself ample time to be flexible.

If you need additional help, you can always email or make an appointment with a librarian.
