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
