Research Process Overview

This is a general guide to start you on the research path for your researched paper or assignment.  While research is usually a more iterative process, rather than a linear process as outlined here, this guide provides a general path. It is common to move back and forth through some of these steps as you uncover more resources and re-think the topic and the lens through which you are exploring your topic or research question. If you have any suggestions for additions to this guide, or questions, please contact one of us as noted below.
