NOT will restrict your search by omitting any keyword(s) that come after NOT. This is a useful way to prevent items containing irrelevant or unwanted keywords from appearing in your search results.
I heard about this one time; you can search information and not have a certain word or other information into the results.
Using a truncation symbol tells the search tool to find any word that starts with the letters leading up to your asterisk, regardless of what letters come after that point. T
This is something new for me, I didn't know you could search for words like that. I will definitely try this out. 1. It's super handy because it only shows words that start with a certain letter, instead of showing every word that has that letter anywhere in it.
Google uses proprietary algorithms and a unique ranking system to determine where a website will be placed in your search results.
I find this so interesting. I wonder what the " unique ranking system" is. If they would rank it by popularity, most accurate or trustworthy information.
It could be that your topic is too new to have anything published about it, or it may be a topic that has been disproven by research over time.
With a new fresh topic, it is quite diffcult to find research about it so I like to find a topic that isn't as fresh probably give it a week or two to have the resources come to the internet just to help gain the list to help back up your thoughts on the idea.
One of the most fundamental ways the scholarly community determines the reliability and authority of information is by knowing the scholarly or professional credentials of authors.
With this, should we research every authors to see if themself are credentable not only their writing? Like if they have enough background skills and knowleadge like its stating.
Amount: how much information you need Content: the types of information you need Format: the configuration of the source (e.g., books, articles, videos, etc.)
I believe that these bullet point could be very useful the next time I need to wrtie a paper. Just to make it much easier for me to research and list and rant the importance of sources and how it would fit best in my future paper.
If you and another person search for the same thing, what is displayed first for each of you may be different.
I thought the first couple of sources were the top articles that people often click on. I had no clue that it was determined by my algorithm.
Wikipedia can be incredibly useful for finding background information about an author or publication. Keep in mind that Wikipedia does not cover all topics with the same level of detail. An author can still be an expert in their field even if there is no Wikipedia entry for them.
I've been told that Wikipedia is a very 'trustful source' because people can easily edit the information and spit out wrong information, so it's best to avoid it as a whole. Every time, I write essays or search, I always avoid Wiki however a Pastor that I know said that when he was at school, he would use Wikipedia all the time. Im not sure if it's a Generation thing.
Having a variety of sources and authors helps support your argument. By evaluating your sources as you gather them, you can save time and avoid having to redo your search. It can be frustrating when you need to start over in the middle of a project because your sources don’t back up your argument with enough depth.
This reminds me of when I was younger my teacher would always ask us to find 3-5 resources that can help us write our essays. That way you could have your resource ready.
