Resaerching a Topic

Research, for me, has always been difficult fir two reasons, one it makes an easy excuse to procrastinate, and two its is also difficult to find credible sources. A research paper is usually granted a large portion of time to complete and therefore is easy to put off. It is also very difficult to find sources that are credible. Even sources that seem credible sometimes aren't; for instance, a site i once visited was written by a doctor, it was an article on the first world war, but even though he was a doctor his specialty was biology not history, making the source just as useless as one written by a journalist.

Research

The hardest part of any research for me is just that, the actual research. Finding credible academic resources is always tough. Second is the CITATIONS! I always forget about what goes where. Does the comma go inside the quote or outside? How about a period with parenthisis? We've all done it. It really is just a pain. In text references are needed, but not warranted. We have a works cited; the only time you should have to use an in text reference is when you are using a direct quote! Anyway, research is just a rough thing for me. I like creative writing. I feel as if researching, and research papers in general stifle me as a writer. You can go ahead and laugh now, I don't mind

Research

The hardest part of the research process for me is finding books.  Having grown up using the internet, it's hard for me to find relevant books.  It is also hard to tell which websites I find are credible.  There is so much information on the internet that a lot of the sites I find are not even credible sources.  

On the other hand, the easiest part of the research process is finding websites.  It takes less than a minute to have thousands of websites literally at your fingertips.  

Research

The hardest part of the research process for me is finishing. I've had many interests in the past, and I go through a lot of sources for a good working knowledge of my subject. That makes getting quotes easy, and after reading so much, telling the good sources from the bad becomes easier. Once I have this knowledge though, it's hard to sit down and write it. What usually ends up happening is I write it out in one big burst, then edit it over and over. Maybe that's okay, but I don't usually have much time to edit until the paper is due. (much of that is procrastination).
The easiest part of the research process is the initial research of the subject. Keeping it all organized in my mind isn't too hard, especially if I'm interested in the material.

Research

The hardest part about researching for me is actually looking in books, rather than just googling the subject. I use the internet for most of my research, and using actual tangible books for research projects was never something I did in high school, or if I did it was the text book. I understand the concept of finding academically accepted things to use as sources, I just never have tried to find something in a book rather than the internet.

The easiest part about researching and writing a research paper is putting it together and writing it. Once all the research is done it's typically pretty easy for me to put it down on paper.

Research

The hardest part of researching for me is finding valid sources or sources pertaining only to that specific topic. What is also difficult for me is finding the information to form a sold thesis. Also I almost always forget to cite correctly.
The easiest part of researching for me is finding enough information on the selected topic. I am usually good at narrowing down the amount of information to one aspect of the topic.

Research

The hardest part of researching for me is taking thoughts from each source and organizing them all together. Most of the time I know in my head what I want to write, but it takes me a long time to put it all together on paper. Also, citing properly is difficult for me.

The thing I most enjoy about researching is learning about new things in a topic that interests me. If i enjoy the topic that I am researching about, then it makes writing the paper that much easier.
