Selected resources for research in the area of Environmental Ethics

Writing Your Paper

Once you have searched, located, and evaluated resources, it's time to write about what you've discovered.

This page will help you make the best use of your resources, format a reference list,  and use CSE style correctly in your paper. 

Using Your Resources

Now that you have a pile of books, journal articles, and other resources, how do you put them to work? These guidelines will help you to make the best use of the information you've gathered.

Reference Works (Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, etc.)

  • Use for beginning research to get general background information on a topic.

Books

  • Use to get the "big picture." Books offer more information about a topic than a journal article.

Journal Articles

  • Use for specific information on your topic written by an expert.

Newspaper Articles

  • Use when you need extremely current information on a topic.
  • Use when you need a primary source for historical research.
