Welcome to the Biology 208L Research Guide!
Research in biology is all about building on what others have discovered, while making it clear which ideas are yours and which come from sources. When we write about information from other sources (such as journal articles, books, and websites), it can sometimes be difficult to write in our own voice. This exercise will help illustrate how to use others' work appropriately and ethically, so that it's always evident to the reader which ideas and writing are your own, and which you learned from your reading.
This guide will give you tools you need to identify, evaluate, and locate reliable information resources that will be invaluable to your research process for Biology 208L projects.
