What makes good data? Find an academic article and evaluate the "data collection" section in an academic journal article. To locate an academic article, first open the PG Library. In the search area, list any keyword that might bring up a topic that interests you. Perhaps a medical condition, college student study habits, screen time for young children — any keyword that may generate an academic article. Click “search” and the fun begins! The next page will have the first list of whatever pops up for your keyword. To narrow down to peer reviewed articles, you will want to click “peer reviewed” and then “academic journals” on the left side of the search results page. This will generate another list that will narrow your search to the keyword and these two categories. Now you can be reasonably assured that any article from this listing will work for this Discussion Board.
