Biology 153 (Beaster-Jones)

Project Requirements

• 2-3 review articles (two must have been published in the last 10 years)
• 4-6 primary literature articles (two must have been published in the last 5 years)
• Citations in the style of CSE (Council of Science Editors) Name-Year system
• 70% of the entries must be unique from other members of your group

By the end of our library session you will be able to ...

• find and differentiate original research articles vs. review articles.
• identify and use relevant scientific databases.
• navigate database functionality to your advantage e.g. limiters (date, article type), sorting etc.
• use a Citation Manager to format your in-text citations and bibliography in CSE format

These skills will assist you in completing your annotated bibliography and future research endeavors.
