What information should I keep track of?
Keeping an accurate record of the information you've found during the research process allows you to find it again quickly and easily. It also helps you to cite and reference the information correctly for your assignment (see Module 4 Use for more information about referencing).
You will need to collect different information for different resource types. Here are some examples:
| Book | Author name(s), date of publication, title, edition, place of publication and publisher, page numbers |
|---|---|
| Ebook | Author name(s), date of publication, title, edition, ebook database, ebook database URL. |
| Journal article | Author name(s), date of publication, article title, journal title, volume & issue numbers, page numbers, DOI. |
| Web page | Author name(s)/Corporate author, date of publication, title, URL. |
