FOR ME, THE HARDEST PART OF RESEARCH IS…
a. Getting started
b. Finding relevant information
c. Writing the paper
d. Citing sources
e. None – research is easy
OUTLINE FOR TODAY
• Academic Research
• Principles of Good Searching
• Searching in the Research Databases & Library Catalog
• Citing Sources & EndNote
SECTION 1: ACADEMIC RESEARCH
• A literature review is part of the published work referencing related research, theory, and background information
• A review of the literature (literature search) may be conducted to…
• understand a topic
• help you form a problem statement
• provide confirmation of an already existing hypothesis
• analyze and interpret your own data
• gain exposure to past, current, and ongoing research about a subject you are exploring for research of your own
REVIEWING LITERATURE
“AUTHORITATIVE” INFORMATION
“Authority” is a type of influence recognized or exerted in a community
Disciplines have acknowledged authorities--scholars & publications
Approach “authoritative” perspectives with informed skepticism.
WHAT IS PEER REVIEW?
A process for establishing authority of scholarly research
Experts in the field/discipline review the original ideas to certify the accuracy, validity, and value of the results Chubin, D. E., & Hackett, E. J. (2005). Peer Review. In C.

• Determine your research question1• Identify the key concepts2• List alternate keywords, synonyms, and
related words3• Join terms and concepts with appropriate
Boolean operators4• Make use of database’s limiters &
suggested subject terms 5• Organize and cite your sources6
SEARCH PROCESS
One
• What are some ways artificial intelligence is used to prevent or solve crimes?
Two
• How is artificial intelligence used to solve or prevent crimes of spoofing, phishing, identity theft, malware, and in facial recognition and surveillance?
Three
• In what ways is artificial intelligence developed to recognize faces for use in surveillance to prevent or solve crimes?
1. DETERMINE YOUR RESEARCH QUESTION
2. IDENTIFY THE KEY CONCEPTS

CONTROLLED VOCABULARY(ALSO CALLED “TAXONOMY” OR “HIERARCHY”)
• A list of terms and term relationships designed too organize information about similar subjects
o assist content authors in consistently classifying/tagging content
o enable users to find the information they need by translating their language into the language of the information store.
