Being a Smart Researcher
(Labaree, 2017)
- Don’t try to read everything or gather every bit of
data
- Look for the shortcut rather than plowing through the
middle of all the data
- Gather enough data to be credible
- Remember that no argument is ever iron clad or
permanent
- Focus on telling an interesting story, drawing on the
evidence for support rather than relying on it as the core of the story
- Remember that research is a stimulus for thought
