Books like Writing research papers by Melissa Walker


Esta obra es una guía extraordinaria que recorre todos los laberintos en los que se puede encontrar un joven investigador y ofrece un hilo conductor imprescindible para no perderse en su tarea. En primer lugar brinda toda la información que se necesita para realizar buenos trabajos de investigación en la universidad. Enseña las tácticas y destrezas necesarias como: usar las fuentes en bibliotecas, registrar la información, organizar el material y, sobre todo, restringir un tema. Los consejos incluyen todos los detalles sobre la preparación de borradores, su revisión, la redacción definitiva y la confección de la bibliografía. Pero lo verdaderamente especial de esta obra es que permite a los lectores seguir a cinco estudiantes en distintos proyectos de investigación completos en las disciplinas de literatura, psicología y biología: cómo desarrollan sus intereses, concentran sus ideas, buscan fuentes, toman notas, bosquejan, revisan, corrigen y diseñan la versión definitiva de sus trabajos. Además de los recursos clásicos, se muestra también detalladamente cómo beneficiarse de las nuevas herramientas electrónicas: las bases de datos en CD ROM, el correo electrónico, Internet y sus fuentes. Una obra que intenta además transmitir a los estudiantes el espíritu y el valor del aprendizaje independiente, y les ayudará a advertir que dicho aprendizaje es una parte excitante de su experiencia universitaria.

Writing research papers by 7044371|James D. Lester book cover

📘 Writing research papers

The topic of a research paper may often be one which, at least initially, you know very little about. At first the task may appear insurmountable: sources to be located, books and articles to be read, notetaking, footnoting of source material, outlining of the paper, writing, rewriting, typing, and proofreading. Perhaps at this point you will begin to question your ability to express yourself in English at all! Obviously, some kind of orderly process must be applied to the above procedure. This book will help you do that: it outlines the basic research techniques you will need.
