ENGH 702: Research Methods in Rhetoric and Writing

Resources for Professor LaFrance's ENGH 702 class.

Tips and Strategies

  • Use Email Alert features offered by many databases to keep up with current research
  • Check dissertations on similar topics - recent ones can be very helpful for bibliographies
  • Use the Web of Science database and Google Scholar to find who has cited a given article or book.
  • Use Zotero to organize and keep track of your citations and .PDF files.
  • In addition to searching for articles in databases, search for "bibliographies" such as those produced by the WAC Clearinghouse. 

Resources and Tools

Although the "Literature Reviews and Field Statements InfoGuide" was originally developed for students at Mason's Schar School of Public Policy, it includes a number of strategies and other content that apply to most academic disciplines. Highly recommended.
