2) Develop search strategy, refining it as you research.
3) Select appropriate databases to use.
4) Review your sources.

Style manuals are useful guides for writing research papers. The two most commonly used guides at Stevenson University are the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.), and the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th ed.). Your professor will instruct you as to which style manual you should use.
