Part 2A: Researching your Topic

As mentioned in the project overview, scholarly writing demonstrates that the opinion given by a student is supported by information from relevant and credible sources. In an informed opinion paper, the informed aspect is the use of evidence to support your arguments (Oasis Writing Center, 2023). Learning how to identify credible evidence and then incorporate that evidence into your writing is a necessary skill in scholarly writing.

Students today have access to information 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, on the internet. There are significant benefits to conducting research on the internet, including easy access to current resources, information sharing, and free access to online journals and other resources. The access we have to this wealth of knowledge also prepares students for the modern workforce (Apuke & Iyendo, 2018).

However, not all information on the internet is of equal value. Much of what you encounter on the internet is not credible or scholarly. It is important to evaluate a website before you cite it as evidence supporting your opinion.

OCCC’s library provides information and guidelines on how to evaluate a website. Click on the link below to review the guidelines.
