Introduction
Secondary research means finding and using information that has been collected and analyzed by someone else.
Find Scholarly, Academic Articles
Scholarly, academic, peer reviewed articles are an important part of academic writing. When you talk with friends about a topic of shared interest, their ideas can help you think of new and different ways of looking at or doing something. The same thing happens in scholarly, academic research.
You can read existing academic articles and use these articles to
- Learn more about scholarly conversations related to your area of interest.
- Form a new research question.
- Develop a research method.
- Identify ways you can communicate your findings and connect your ideas to other research.
The exchange of ideas through articles over time is often referred to as a scholarly conversation.
You can use MavScholar, the library's main database, to find scholarly articles for your assignments.
