Organise
Organise is the 4th step of the Research Process
At this stage of the process we should ask:
• Have I enough information for my purpose?
• Which information sources best addresses my topic?
• Do I need to use all this information?
• How can I group, classify and categorise information?
Information skills
Students should:
• review the purpose of the task
• reject any information not relevant to the task
• bookmark or save relevant websites to favourites in your browser so they can be retrieved later
• read for understanding SQ3R
• begin grouping and categorising relevant information under headings and subheadings
• highlight important points and take notes using Cornell Note Taking
• summarise and paraphrase the information
• combine the units of information into a structure or outline
• review the structure in light of the purpose of the task
• adjust the structure where necessary
• collate bibliographic details for referencing
