I was very astonished to find that at least some academic papers for my choosen topic are available. I am researching in a field I have not much experience in, so it took me some time to find databases that has what I require.
A good start in researching is to look through ebsco and see what is available. In this case, I couldn't find much, but I usually pick a promising title and enter it in google scholar too. This is a good way to find óther databases, ones that are specialized on this topic. The articles I found on my topic are too a large extent in french. Unfortunately I don't speak french, so I have to go with the German and English papers. Whenever I write a paper in english, I prefer to have the resource papers in english too. I find it very time consuming to translate parts from German to English in oder to be able to use it.
For this weeks assignment, I had to review my paper proposal and title too. Luckily, my classmate was very content with what I has written, so I only changed the word order of the title a little bit and added one sentence of clearance somewhere at the end. I am looking forward to write this paper, I picked a topic I might really get into ;)
