In your research notebook you can record lists of things to
do, sources to check, leads to follow up on, questions to which
you would like to find answers, ideas, possible statements and
so on. (Be sure to date your entries and to check off and date
work completed.)
Task 7. Answer the questions.
1) How do you understand the term ‘a research notebook’?
2) What information is recorded in it?
3) What is the aim of a research notebook?
4) Have you ever kept a research notebook?
Doing Exploratory Research
and Formulating a Research Question
During exploratory research, you develop an overview of your
topic, searching the Internet and looking through general
reference works such as encyclopedias, bibliographies, and
specialized dictionaries (either in print or online). Your goal at
this stage is to formulate a research question that you want
your research paper to answer. A research question helps you to
decide which sources to seek out, which to examine first, which
to examine in depth, and which to skip entirely. (The answer to
your research question will be your paper’s thesis statement.)
Task 8. Answer the questions.
1) What does ‘exploratory research’ mean?
2) What are its goals?
3) How should a student formulate a research question?
Task 9. Formulate the research question of tour research work.
Assembling a Working Bibliography
During your exploratory research, you begin to assemble
a working bib liogr aphy for your paper. This work ing
bibliography will be the basis for your works-cited list, which
will include all the sources you cite in your paper.
As you consider each potential source, keep track of your
sources by recording full and accurate bibliographic information
62
in a separate computer file designated ‘Bibliography’ (or, if you
prefer, on individual index cards). Keep records of interviews,
meetings, lectures, films, and electronic sources as well as records
of books and articles. For each source, include not only basic
identifying details—such as the date of an interview, the call
number of a library book, the URL of an Internet source and
the date you downloaded it, or the author of an article accessed
from a database—but also a brief evaluation that includes
comments about the kind of information the source contains,
the amount of information offered, its relevance to your topic,
and its limitations.
As you record bibliographic information for your sources,
include the following information:
— Book Author(s); title (underlined or in italics); call
number (for future reference); city of publication; publisher;
date of publication; brief evaluation.
— Article Author(s); title of article (in quotation marks);
title of journal (underlined or in italics); volume number; date;
inclusive page numbers; URL (if applicable); date downloaded
(if applicable); brief evaluation.
As you go about collecting sources and building your
working bibliography, be careful to monitor the quality and
relevance of all the materials you examine. Making informed
choices early in the research process will save you a lot of time
in the long run.
Task 10. Answer the questions.
1) What is the difference between ‘working bibliography’
and ‘works-cited list’?
2) What parts does a working bibliography contain?
3) What details about books/articles are put in a working
bibliography?
4) Why is it necessary to monitor the quality and relevance
of all the materials you examine?
Task 11. Describe the working bibliography in your research work.
