Your final paper as submitted will also be run through SafeAssign to check for plaguarism. Based on my research experience, here are a few basic tips for good research papers: Research Tip # 1: If you are searching for a topic or beginning your research, general periodicals such as National Geographic, Scientific American, Discover, Natural History and Archaeology are good places to start. Sources from articles in these periodicals will most likely lead you to more technical or specialized publications. Research Tip # 2: While the World Wide Web is a useful research tool, do not base your report solely only what you find on the internet. Use information found on websites with caution, and only as a guide to printed sources. If you do use a website as a source, be sure to check to see when the page or information was last updated. Research Tip #3: It takes an average of between two to five years for current research to make it into print media. Be sure to check and see if there is any current research not covered in journals or books. A good place to start is the American Anthropological Association news page ( https://www.anthropology-news.org/ ). Research Tip # 4: If you are having trouble locating sufficient source material on your topic, please let me know as soon as possible, not the week before it is due! It may be that your topic is too narrow and may need t​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‍​o be expanded.
