Online researching!

Hi guys, I am now taking a course called research. I want to share to all of you on what is research especially online researching all about.

Meaning

First, let's tackle first the meaning of research. In general, research means "to search again". This is the study of a subject that we lack or have little knowledge about.

Therefore, online research as it name implies, goes with the process of researching using online materials available for intended audience. This is the use of technology on researching.


Objective of Online Researching

There are several objectives in research that are similar with the objectives of online researching. But we will not discuss further the objectives of research. What I will tell you is the main and primary goal of online researching.

---> The main objective of online researching is to provide people with easy access data that would help them achieve the knowledge that they lack about.


How to site the reference in an online research?

To site references in online researching is the same as sitting sites from books. Online research sites such as Wikipedia have citations that are available for free. Those citations are links to the author's site or can be online book materials. The proper way to site is to click the citation link and copy and paste the site.
