  4. ARTICLE DATABASES For an expert opinion

  5. Keyword Development Your Topic: Why is health care so expensive in the United States? Main ideas: health care, expensive, United States * Try to make your topic as simple as possible.Topics become much harder to research when they have more than three or four main ideas.

  6. How Database Searching Works    Idea 1: Health Care   Idea 2: Expensive    Idea 3: United States  Idea 1   AND  Idea 2   AND   Idea 3

  7. CITING SOURCES Can’t I just give you a link?

  8. What is the purpose of a citation? • Showing that an idea came from somewhere else • Helping the reader trace an idea back to its original source • Uses a predefined style that’s easy to read • Citing work helps to avoid being accused of plagiarism

  9. When do you cite? • When you use information that you got from somewhere else • When paraphrasing, summarizing, or giving results of a study • When directly quoting from a source • …when in doubt, cite!
