Academic Research: Self-Guided Learning

Academic Research

The Academic Research Information guide lists information resources on conducting research, literature informatics, information management, scientific writing, and publication. The Information Management guide is a subset of the Literature Informatics library guide. This guide lists starting information resources and tools for analysis and critical appraisal of information resources to enhance a scientific inquiry and accelerate scientific discoveries.

  Information Management


Information management is a process supporting scientist's research and learning characterized by identifying information and information sources, gathering, classifying, storing, and processing information (e.g., scholarly publications), evaluating, and critically appraising information and information sources to create and share scientific information.
