Welcome to the Research Skills Guide for the Bachelor of Applied Research (Honours).
This guide was made for you by a librarian from Charles Sturt University Library. It is designed to make your research process easier.
We will cover the best way to:
- Plan your thesis topic
- Find information for your literature review
- Evaluate your results for suitability
- Explore research methods
- Write and reference with EndNote
You can use this guide any way you like; read it front to back or dip in and out as required. I recommend taking a few minutes to familiarise yourself with the content so you know what's in there in case you find yourself stuck later on.
Keep in mind that research is not a linear process and may not always follow a particular order of steps.
Most important of all, use your librarians! If you need help with anything library or research related, get in touch with the library.
Wishing you the best for the study ahead.
