So, week three with Future Learn an it has been a pretty worth while 3 hrs so far, I would encourage anybody new to research projects to look at joining the course - if its not too late.
The best bits so far are.
i. A useful model to narrowing down a research questions.
ii. Introduction to 'Evernote' application which could prove useful. Its free.
iii. Good guide to internet resources.
iv http://scholar.google.co.uk/ I had no idea this site even existed.
v. Literature Searching Basics its not exactly earth shatteringly new, but a good starting point.
Two I have found via the link above
Critical Appraisal
Literature Review
vi. Directory of open access journals
vii. http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/ , the paperboy , newslookup , huffingtonpostWorld News Network
vii. Data sets available from Office For National Statistics
All seems good stuff so far.
