I agree with the cited by filter. And as for the scenario, I’d absolutely use the reference. As long as it supports your premise then it’s still relevant.
But how to write essays of project report with referencing from journals which are super lengthy and answer to my essay questions specifically with referencing? what I mean to ask is how would I find exactly what I wanted from lengthy journals, I am finding it super tedious task, please help me
For the hypothetical scenario, I think we couldn't use it as reference because the content that we wrote and the reference that we got is different. I mean, child behavior and the aggression of a malnourished dog is a different matter
Absolutely. I think we sometimes over think and agonise over finding the right references however it doesn’t really help anyone to cut the corners too much. “Scholarly opinion” is certainly helped though when we can introduce and explore different applications of the material.
@@BryterTraining I'm still new to academic writing stuff 🙂. I'm still confused, but after reading others comment about the hypothetical scenario, it's okay to use the reference as long as it could supports our writing? And as you said I guess it's okay to use it from different applications of the material? Correct me if I'm wrong. English isn't my first language. Anyway thank you for the video n all
It’s a grey area. The point of a reference is to find reputable evidence to support your opinion (hence “scholarly opinion”). As long as you can connect the reference to your writing, and you’re using it to introduce a unique perspective, then it can be ok. If you literally use a reference that doesn’t relate to your assignment (except for sharing one word like “behaviour”) then you’re right that you shouldn’t use it. If your hypothesis is “dogs are better than cats” then any reference that supports something positive about dogs (such as their loyalty, intelligence, or that they eat scraps keeping the floor clean), or negative about cats (killing wildlife, shedding hair, antisocial) could be a reference. Even though it doesn’t directly state that dogs are better. And even though all of those references are biased and “half truths”. That’s the real catch with academic writing. You can find a reference to support any opinion or perspective.
How do you do a keyword search on any article? Is it an app that scans the screen or a built in function (sorry if this is obvious I haven’t went to look for it yet) amazing video thank you!
For pdf’s with scanned articles you need something called ocr (optical character recognition). A lot of pdf viewers and editors will have it. For example in adobe there’s an option for “scan and ocr” so once you open the document you can convert it to text. The accuracy isn’t always amazing but you can search for good rated ones online.
Hi! Unfortunately this video relates to finding references for academic writing. However if you’re after an employment reference, all you can do is contact Hr or a previous manager. Some companies will only give a statement of service (to say you worked there) so the only way to know is to call them and ask. Good luck!
Monday Thirty-First of October Two Thousand And Twenty-Two. 21.17pm. Dear Sir. Good-evening. How are you? I hope you are well. What, a very good Video. 🙂 You, are obviously a well educated Man. I am a beginner, with references, so I cannot say alot about them. Yours Faithfully. Sir Francesca Kray.
I reference the sites I use for my own research. There are of course newer sites available now, and different schools and assignments may have specific criteria. What advice specifically are you unsure of?
@@BryterTraining How do you know that your supposed to use Google Scholar or check Wikipedia for links to others references? Did you come up with that advice on your own or did you read it from someone else? Who sets the standards for what good references are anyhow?
@@kylesmithplayz8470 You're not supposed to do anything. In general you need modern, relevant, peer reviewed publications that you reference. This video is about having a starting point to find said references. You then dig deeper and take those references, read them, and put them into other databases (like your school library) to determine their validity. Fun fact - all of the sources exist and are used by millions and I didn't create them. And yes, as my video, this is my experience with my multiple degrees and own research. Use it, don't use it, the choice is always yours. Your university will often set standards on what they want, and your role as a student or researcher is to find the best data.
@@BryterTraining Yes that makes sense I find that the idea of references, however, while in some cases necessary to prove a point, can also be limiting for writers because it sometimes can encourage people to follow Ad Populum arguments or appeals to authority that simply assert that something is true based upon the premise that so-called "experts" or a majority of people believe its true. I think while referencing the work of others is very important to establish credibility as a writer I also think it's important for people to try to cultivate original thought that one can argue using one's own logic. I acknowledge, generally speaking, that your advice is good advice and I actually have come away with some helpful tips that I can utilize in my writing so I thank you. All I am trying to do is remind people that while it can be great to make arguments using the work of others, you yourself can also produce intelligent, convincing arguments simply by using your own logic instead of relying too much on referencing the work of others.
@kylesmithplayz8470 All good points - just keep in mind that we're talking about scholarly writing which is very different to an editorial or an opinion piece. You can have original thought - that's what scholarly opinion is (we have a video on that too!) however an opinion without supporting evidence would never be used as evidence or would be shot down in the peer review process. There's a bit of a saying in academia that if you can't find reputable supporting evidence to back up your 'original thoughts', then perhaps your thoughts are wrong. Lot's of people have compelling arguments and ideas - but if they're not backed by research and peer reviewed evidence, then it's not a fact. It's a hypothesis.
Can you access them through your school? Either login to the library site and then search for/access the journals from the school page, or many journal sites will also have an option to access the database via your institution.
You can do it!! There’s also ai reference search engines like elicit but you need to double check the accuracy. Just map out the headings based on the task and rubric, add an intro and conclusion, and find some references to support any opinions or facts.
Thanks for yoru comment - There's always a degree of bias in writing, and of course our understanding of topics change as people conduct more research or have more experience. That's why you always want to use peer reviewed references from quality journals - you certainly want to avoid books, websites, and un-reviewed sources where possible otherwise it's just opinion. We have a video "do your own research" which explores that.

The “cited by” function is so useful to narrow searches!
A combination of the concepts certainly works well
3 years later and still incredibley useful thank you
Fantastic!! Thanks was thinking of updating it given the new AI tools available!
I agree with the cited by filter. And as for the scenario, I’d absolutely use the reference. As long as it supports your premise then it’s still relevant.
Absolutely. And I tend to agree with your thoughts on the scenario. Thanks for watching!

use the reference bro, you gotta meet the deadline
I agree! I think as long as the reference you choose supports the "essence" of what you're saying, you're good to go!

Almost all of my needed references are needed membership (money) to access💀

Oh god, I have 4 days for my case study/business report

@@BryterTraining thank you for your advice. I’m looking at my school’s online library right now. Never thought of using it before😅
