Primary Sources& Peer Review
Primary Source - Original document containing firsthand information– Lab notebooks, interviews– Original research including journal articles
and preprints
A peer reviewed primary source is a work that is evaluated by experts in the field of study prior to publication. Serves as a measure of quality.

• Develop a research topic by:– Evaluating topic– Background reading/ review literature– Developing a list of search terms– Writing a clarifying paragraph, thesis
statement (something to prove or disprove) OR a research question
![Page 33: FSC 632; Library & Research Basics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555edca0d8b42a772f8b51bf/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Let’s develop our topic1. Choose a topic that interests you (false confessions)
2. Evaluate your topic (Too broad or narrow?)
3. Get a working knowledge of your topic. (develop keyword list) (How to do this??)
4. Identify controversies or questions (Background reading)
5. Develop your research question (Why?)
6. Write your clarifying paragraph (Or introduction, or abstract)

• Set up RSS feeds in databases to be alerted when new articles in your field of interest are published. (I use Scopus to do this).
• Can set up alerts from most databases – by author, subject or receive citation alerts
