My research is finally done! I'm so relieved to finally have it done. I learned a lot through the research process and I'm really excited to start writing my actual research paper to put all of my opinions on paper. Through all the days of my research, I learned that long articles are not always the best. I found a lot of very useful information in articles and reports that were as short as a few paragraphs. However, I'm definitely glad that I found a couple really long articles that were loaded with information from multiple authors.
The easiest part of research was writing the citation for the sources. The sources from the Oklahoma State databases were already pre-cited on the database site, so all I had to do was copy and paste it into my paper and format it correctly. APA style format is extremely simple to do and doesn't include a ton of extra information like other styles of citations do.
The hardest part of research was definitely deciding what information to include in the paper and what information to leave out. Some articles were so detailed that I had to be selective with the facts that I highlighted to be used in my final paper. It was especially hard because I'm so interested in the subject that literally every fact I read seemed interesting and important to me. However, I'm happy with my completed research and I think it'll make a great paper.
