NPR4005/6/7/8 Literature Searching support for the Final Project

Understanding academic literature

For your 2nd year module "NPR069/70/71/72"  I created a LibGuide called "Finding and Using Research" to help you explore academic literature. It includes two online activities that can help you to navigate through your literature results and identify relevant literature.

  1. Understanding Abstracts: This online activity is designed to help you understand and evaluate journal article abstracts to focus reading and research on the most relevant resources. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete
  2. Understanding Academic Sources: This tutorial is designed to help you understand the main types of academic literature and how you can use them in your academic work. Knowing which type of literature to look at for the information you need will make your research more effective and save you time. This tutorial will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

You can go back and access the activities again.
