Q Academic research begins in an academic library. Although our first instinct may be to Google for answers, we must differentiate between how we find answers to everyday problems and how we conduct research for an academic topic. This week, you will share your experiences with personal research and how the academic research process differs. • Think about the research you have done for a major purchase, life decision, or personal problem. o Describe the process you used to find the information you needed. Now think about the academic research you will conduct in this course. o Describe the process you will use to find the information you need. o How will this process be different than research for personal problems? o How do you decide what information to trust when doing this type of research? o What recommendations do you have for your classmates?

I personally feel that academic research needs more scholarly and peer-reviewed articles. Proper research is mandatory in this matter. For example, I have selected the health issues and their impacts in the business scenario for the research, and I will definitely prefer the scholarly journals having a proper date for this research paper. I simply cannot rely on the articles that come from the Google search randomly. For personal research, I would rely on online articles. I recently conducted personal research to know the percentage of individuals having depression due to work pressure. For this research, I had gone through news articles. I have read several articles of The Guardian, Forbes to get the proper result. I had taken help from the online video as well. I had the tendency select the online journals or newspaper reports that comes on the top of Google results.
