It has everything to do with the entirety of the research work from the undergraduate project topic, getting the research materials etc. and all through the end of the research work which ends at the defense hall. The internet facilities have shown to improve the confidence of students in research projects. This is because the internet has a way of providing all the necessary information one need whether social, economic, religion, academic and otherwise. This technology has reshaped the tertiary educational practice in terms of academic learning and research project.

The Internet provides access to so much information that it can be easy to get confused. But the Internet is a black hole of information, and of course, not everything is reliable.To help your students become expert researchers, here are three tips to guide them. This first section will define some common search terms to help you understand the requirements and limitations of your instructors for certain types of online sources.Sources in this category include peer-reviewed professional, academic, and academic journals or website . All of these terms are just an elegant way of saying that each article in a journal or website has been carefully reviewed by a panel of experts in that field of research, and that the research and writing procedures of the authors are consistent with those set out in that field. field, discipline. Most College of Education and College of Business faculty and behavioral science professors require students to use the American Psychological Association's Guide to Publications as a style guide for research papers, including citation sources. Professors in other fields may require students to use the Kate Turabian Handbook for term paper, abstract, and dissertation writers, the Chicago Manual of Style, or the MLA Handbook for Research Writers.However, online searches are very different from traditional library searches, and these differences can cause problems. The network is a special resource, but it must be used with care. Cross-checking information from the web with information from libraries is a great way to ensure material from the web is reliable and authoritative.
