Before you begin searching for information, read
your assignment description so that you will know what types of
sources your instructor requires for the research paper. Keep
in mind that to argue intelligently about a topic, it is important
to use differing viewpoints from a variety of reliable sources.
Typical sources include encyclopedias, books, periodical articles,
government documents, and the Internet. Some sources are scholarly
(e.g., articles published in Journal of the American Medical
Association) and have undergone rigorous peer-review while
others (articles published in Time, National Geographic))
have not.
