1. The difference between library subscriptions databases is their purpose and the credibility of the author(s). Depending on the subject, certain sources will be more useful to use because of the people that the information comes from.
2. A bibliography is an alphabetically arranged list of evaluated sources you have decided are credible, related to your issue, and possibly valuable to your paper. An annotated bibliography helps you visualize your sources, their basic content, and your reactions to them as a unit of information, gathered together in one place.
3. All credible sources have a credible author, who has some kind of extensive knowledge of the topic at hand. The paper should also be published from a credible source, so you know you’re not just reading a random essay/opinion from an un-informed person.
4. Creating a tentative research plan is a smart idea because it gives you a good way to start writing your paper. Instead of just starting at random topics, having a plan makes it an easier, more efficiently written paper.
5. Plagiarism is the act of using someone’s work without their permission, while claiming that it is your own. Always citing your sources, along with using quotations to write direct statements from an author, make plagiarism an easy thing to avoid.
