Academic research is the kind of research done by professionals and is taught to students in colleges and universities.
Academic research is a process. The resources used in this process should be high-quality sources. This often means that they are academic (written by professionals in that field), peer-reviewed (checked for quality by other professionals in the field), and published in an academic journal.The best place to find these kinds of resources is the databases that your library subscribes to.
This guide outlines the steps you as a student should take to do high-quality, academic research.
If you ever need help finding sources for your research, feel free to contact a librarian. They are there to help.
