My third post
In this week's tutorial, I have learnt various ways to produce more desirable results when using google search engine. One of the search strategies is to create search queries with key variations. This is the first time I have came across this kind of method to do research. I was impressed upon seeing the results that differ from what I usually get without using key variations.
I came to know of another search engine also, Google Scholar. At first, I have doubts in this search engine because I don't believe that I will be able to get a more desired results by using it. But when I used both search engines, Google and Goolge Scholar, the top fews results for Google Scholar are all relevant to me whereas Google does not give me the result that I want on the first page. This shows that Google Scholar is a much more effective search engine with higher relevance as compared to Google. I am definitely looking forward to using Google Scholar for my future researches.
I had discussed my point of view of the given topic on the facebook forum. This is my very first time posting my view on discussion forum. I felt that there is nothing to be afraid of to share your perspectives on the forum. It is a very good way of widening your knowledge in a short period of time. It is also a very quick way to get other people's opinion which can be helpful in our research. I will definitely participate more actively in the discussion forum in near future.
Citation and bibliography are essential in doing researches because it violates the right of the person who originated or contributed to the idea. It is so important that we should credit others for their ideas, if not we run the risk of plagiarism. If we put ourself into their shoes, we would definitely want our hardwork to be acknowledged and credited.
