ONLINE RESEARCH

There are many ways of conducting online research. Here are two common and practical methods:

METHOD 1:

STEPS

1.      Download Zotero (the extension or the stand alone version):

https://www.zotero.org/download/

2.      Go to the databases on the IKBU library website:
http://www.kemerburgaz.edu.tr/egitim-hayati/liste.aspx?SectionID=kAR%2fUExqe98m13gkIePW2w%3d%3d

3.      Pick a database: e.g. JSTOR
http://www.jstor.org/

4.      Search one or more terms: e.g. TERRORISM

http://www.jstor.org/action/doBasicSearch?Query=terrorism&acc=on&wc=on&fc=of

5.      Download the article on Zotero, if it is free: e.g.

                    Krieger, T., & Meierrieks, D. (2011). What causes terrorism? Public Choice,          
                    147(1/2), 3–27.            

 

 

6.      Choose from the articles that are cited in the article. Go to “References” section. Choose the ones that are relevant to your research. Click and download.

7.      Prepare an annotated bibliography.

http://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=12009381199502201963&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5&hl=en

7.      Find the articles/books that are relevant to your research.
