Research Diary

Keep track of all the research references, information, data etc. here, so that
you can manage your paper more efficiently. You must complete at least 25
references. When you start to search for references, only spend a brief time
skimming information and completing this diary.
Once you have established a fair number of potential sources, go back and
have a more detailed analysis of the sources. Read below for how to do this.
Take notes of the information you think may be included in the paper. This
could include: highlighting sections, short hand note taking,
summarizing/paraphrasing in Microsoft word, and copy pasting small
sections for future review. The key thing to note here is that you do not want
to waste time reading information more times than needed. If you take the
time to make notes the first or second time, you will save yourself having to
repeatedly review the same information later.
