Consider that scholarship is a conversation among researchers on a particular subject, with everyone offering evidence, theories, and criticism to advance what is known, and what might not<\/em> be known, about a topic. Your task is to understand what connections are being made between these viewpoints, how you will integrate them in your own work, and what conclusions or advances you might be able to add.<\/p>\r\n

In practical terms, as a researcher, this means paying attention to the reference lists or bibliographies of the works you find in your initial searching. This is known as citation tracking, and is an important strategy to use to find additional resources.<\/p>\r\n \r\n
